A delightful dish featuring grilled halibut paired with a vibrant and zesty tomato relish, perfect for a light and flavorful meal.
Combine the diced tomatoes, chopped basil, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir well and set aside to let the flavors meld.
Letting the relish sit for a few minutes enhances the flavor as the ingredients meld together.
Rub the halibut steaks with vegetable oil and season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Ensure the fish is evenly coated with oil to prevent sticking to the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Place the halibut steaks on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Avoid flipping the fish too often to maintain its integrity and achieve nice grill marks.
Spoon the tomato relish onto serving plates, creating a bed for the fish.
Arrange the relish neatly for an appealing presentation.
Place the grilled halibut steaks on top of the tomato relish and serve immediately.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil for an elegant touch.
