Grilling is always fun, but most people who grill food don’t know that they are consuming a healthy version of the food, especially when it comes to meat. Meat that is grilled on a barbecue is so much healthier. By meat, I mean any meat: chicken, beef, pork, lamb, seafood and many others.

Grilling your food is ideal for people following a fitness regimen because grilled food requires less oil, less salt and less of everything unhealthy. Today, we will be sharing two mouth watering grilled fish recipes.

Grilled Halibut Salad with Beet-Carrot Slaw Recipe

Ingredients

1 ¼ lbs., halibut, skinned

1 large carrot, shredded

1 large beet, shredded

¼ cup lemon juice

6 sprigs tarragon

2 tbsps., finely chopped tarragon

2 heads torn butter-head lettuce

1 tsp., whole grain mustard

¼ tsp., freshly ground pepper

5 tsps., extra virgin olive oil

¾ tsp., salt, divided

Servings: 4 Persons

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Directions

Preheat grill on medium heat.

Tear a piece of foil that could accommodate the fish properly. Coat the foil with cooking spray. If you are unable to find halibut, then you can use swordfish as well.

Place lemon slices on the oil followed by fish on top of those lemon slices.

Sprinkle ¼ tsp salt.

Add tarragon sprigs.

It’s time to grill the fish. Make sure you don’t turn the foil until you see flakes. It will take 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish.

Make the dressing: take a bowl and add some olive oil, lemon juice, mustard, chopped tarragon, pepper and remaining salt. Mix all the ingredients well.

In another bowl, toss lettuce along with ¼ cup of the dressing you just made. Divide it into 4 equal parts followed by adding carrot and beet into the bowl. Now, toss with 2 tbsps., of the dressing and then, divide the fish (take out tarragon sprigs and lemon slices) and beet-carrot slaw among the plates.

Finally, drizzle with the remaining dressing.

That was all about the first recipe. I hope you like it  Let’s move onto the next recipe, a delicious tuna fish with olive relish!
