BLACKENED HALIBUT

Crispy heat
A hot grill coupled with a crispy, "blackened" crust adds a fiery, Cajun touch to halibut. New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme is to thank for putting "blackening" on the culinary map.

INGREDIENTS

For the rub:
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp hot paprika
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and roughly chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 4 halibut fillets, 7oz (200g) each
• Olive oil, for brushing
• 1 lime, quartered
 

DIRECTIONS

Combine the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl.

Place the halibut fillets in a shallow baking dish and brush with oil.

Pat the rub all over the fish. Season with more salt and pepper.

Cover and chill for up to 1 hour, in the refrigerator.

Preheat the grill or grill pan to hot. Brush the grill bars well with oil.

Grill the fillets for 2-2½ minutes on each side until charred and just cooked through.

Serve immediately with a squeeze of lime.
