Ingredients
  

  • 4 halibut fillets 6 oz each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill chopped
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the grill to medium-high.
  • Lightly coat the halibut fillets with olive oil, then season them evenly with salt and pepper.
  • Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked and flake easily with a fork.
  • While the fish cooks, prepare the sauce by combining the lemon juice, chopped dill, Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
  • Once the halibut is done, transfer it to a plate and drizzle the lemon dill sauce over the top. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
