This Danish recipe for halibut steaks with pepper on the grill reflects the philosophy of northern cuisine — simplicity, freshness, and harmony of flavors. Halibut, tender and juicy, is infused with a fragrant mixture of freshly ground black pepper, lemon juice, and vegetable oil, creating a subtle balance of spiciness and citrus freshness. Light sea salt enhances its natural sweetness while grilling adds appetizing caramelization. This cooking method preserves the fish's natural structure and makes it ideal for a light outdoor dinner. Serving with lemon wedges enhances the refreshing effect, allowing the flavor to fully unfold. This dish pairs perfectly with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, highlighting the natural riches of Danish culinary tradition.
