Grilled Halibut Steaks with Tartare Sauce
Even-sized fish steaks or fillets are ideal for grilling. These halibut fillets are served with a generous portion of tartare sauce, made with piquant capers and gherkins and a good quality mayonnaise.
Serves: 2
Ingredients
For the tartare sauce:
125ml Waitrose Mayonnaise with extra virgin olive oil
½ pack flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp Waitrose Cocktail Gherkins in Vinegar, drained and chopped
2 tbsp Waitrose Select Spanish Nonpareille Capers, rinsed, drained and chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the fish:
2 halibut steaks or fillets, each weighing about 200g
25g unsalted butter, melted
Method
- Start by making the tartare sauce. Place the mayonnaise into a small bowl and stir in the parsley, chopped gherkins and capers. Season.
- Place the halibut on an oiled baking tray and brush all over with the melted butter.
- Cook under a hot grill for 4-6 minutes on each side, until the fish is golden at the edges and firm to touch.
