Recipe courtesy of alaskaseafood.org

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons each dried oregano and dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon each onion powder and garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon each black pepper and salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 4 Alaska halibut steaks or fillets (4-6 ounces each), fresh, thawed or frozen
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

Instructions

Combine the dry seasoning

Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat. Mix together all dry seasoning ingredients until well combined.

Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with a paper towel. Place halibut on a spray-coated or foil-lined baking sheet. Brush butter onto top surfaces of halibut and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mixture. Note: For best results with frozen fish, cook halibut 4 minutes before adding butter and spices.

Grill or broil halibut 5-7 inches from heat for 13 minutes for frozen halibut or 8 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout
