Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds halibut fillets, 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup sliced pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • 1 medium tomato, seeded and coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 3 medium green onions, thinly sliced (3 tablespoons)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Lemon wedges

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. If fish fillets are large, cut into 6 serving pieces. Place fish in heavy-duty aluminum foil bag. Mix olives, capers, tomato, onions and garlic; spoon over fish. Drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Double-fold open end of bag.
  • 2
    Cover and grill bag 5 to 6 inches from medium heat about 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Place bag on serving plate. Cut large X across top of packet; fold back foil. Serve fish with lemon wedges.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If halibut is not available, use cod or red snapper.
  • tip 2
    To test fish for doneness, place a fork in the thickest part and gently twist. The fish will flake easily when done.
  • tip 3
    You can make your own foil packet by placing food on half of an 18x12-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Fold other half of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making a tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again. Allow space on sides for heat circulation and expansion.
