Ingredients
4 thick-cut fillets halibut or other hearty fish, about 1/3 pound each
1/3 cup olive oil
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 lemons, halved, for serving
Type of fire: direct
Grill heat: medium-high
Directions
Carefully pat fillets dry with paper towels. Brush fillets liberally with oil and season with salt and pepper. Light 1 chimney full of charcoal. When all charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and spread coals evenly over entire surface of coal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill, and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil grilling grate. Place fish on grill and cook until bottoms of fillets begin to turn opaque and a spatula can be slid under fish with little resistance, about 5 minutes. Flip fish and cook until it can be flaked with a fork and is opaque almost all the way through, or until it registers between 130 and 135 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer inserted in middle of fillet, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer fish to a platter, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with lemon halves.
