Cherry Planked Halibut Steaks with Roasted Tomatoes
Ingredients
2 cups Cherry
Tomatoes, halved
3 tablespoons Olive
Oil
1 tablespoon fresh
Thyme
2 tablespoons Whole
Foods Lemon Herb with Thyme Spice Mix
1 bunch of Asparagus,
trimmed
2 tablespoons Lime
Juice
First: Soak Cherry
Grilling Plank in water for at least an hour- longer is better.
(A 13 x 9 baking dish or a enameled cast iron pot both
work marvelously for this and most people have one or the other kicking around the
kitchen.)
Next: Preheat grill
to 350-400°. Rub both sides of Halibut with Lemon Herb with Thyme spice mix.
Place seasoned Halibut Steaks on the plank, then place the plank on the
grill.
Close the grill
lid and allow the plank to smoke and smolder- that’s where the smoky flavor
comes from. The cherry wood flavor comes from the water vapor released from the
plank during the grilling process, which also helps keep the fish moist.
**Keep a spray bottle
on hand. If flames occur, don't panic! Just spray with water and on plankin'.
Meanwhile: Preheat oven to
425°, toss tomatoes with olive oil, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Put tomatoes in oven for 10-12 minutes.
Remove roasted tomatoes from the oven and top halibut while still on the grill.
Then: Toss Asparagus
in olive oil and lime juice and place of the grill along side the plank.
Finally: Cook Halibut
and Asparagus until done to your liking. Approximately 20 minutes on the
Halibut, 6-9 minutes for the Asparagus.
Carefully remove from grill and enjoy! Welcome to your weekend. -KB
