Sweet and Sour Grilled Halibut

Many types of meat, fish, and vegetables go well with a sweet and sour sauce. This grilled halibut recipe is no exception because of halibut's sweet, mild flavor. Pineapple, sugar, and some kind of tomato sauce or puree commonly provide the sweet element in a sweet and sour sauce and the red onion is also sweet.

The green pepper is savory and the addition of lemon to this grilled halibut recipe provides the sourness. This recipe is great served on a bed of steaming hot white rice. If you cannot get halibut, you can use a similar white, firm fish in sweet and sour grilled halibut recipes, such as turbot or cod.

Ingredients -

6 halibut fillets, approximately 5 oz each
6 slices red onion, ½ inch each
6 sliced rings green bell pepper, ½ inch each
6 slices canned pineapple
3 sliced lemons
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
½ cup butter
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
1 teaspoon sugar

Preparation:

Grill the onion, bell pepper, lemon and pineapple slices (the onions and pepper take longer, so begin them first). Remove from the grill and keep warm. Grill the fish fillets of a medium to medium high heat for about 5 minutes per side, taking care not to overcook them. They should be just cooked through, not flaking.

Arrange the fish on individual plates and arrange the lemon slices, pineapple and grilled vegetables on them. Melt the butter and stir the sugar into it, until it dissolves. Add the catsup and drizzle this mixture over the halibut. Serve hot.
