HALIBUT BBQ 
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic lightly browned in the hot olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
stir frequently
2 to 3 tablespoons butter
1 lime
1/2 cup fresh chopped basil
1 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth

Heat olive oil and butter gently in a saucepan. Add the finely chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, basil, and parsley. Juice the lime into this mixture. Stir in wine or vermouth, keeping sauce warm.

Dredge the Halibut through the sauce and throw it on the hot grill. The flames will die down quickly. Baste each side liberally with the sauce as you turn the fish. Do not overcook.

Serve the fish over pasta. The Farfalle-bowties work best. Just double the sauce recipe and you should have plenty of extra sauce to spoon over the fish on a steaming bed of pasta noodles.

Halibut Bbq
   #104488
 Steven Acquafresca (Colorado) says:
For best results, travel to Southeast Alaska and catch a nice big Alaska halibut. Filet halibut immediately and freeze. Keep frozen on return trip home. Thaw just before preparation.
Use a professional licensed fishing guide if necessary. Be sure to abide by all Alaska fishing rules and regulations.
