Grilled fish fillet

Grilled fish fillet is a delightful dish of Russian cuisine, perfect for a light dinner or festive table. The grill gives the halibut an appetizing golden crust while keeping its tenderness and juiciness inside. A balanced combination of olive oil, salt, and black pepper enhances the fish's natural flavor, making it vibrant and rich. This dish is especially popular in the summer season when fresh fish and aromatic smoke from the coals create a relaxing outdoor atmosphere. The finished fish pairs wonderfully with vegetables, herbs, or tomato salsa, adding fresh and zesty notes. Its simplicity in preparation and exquisite taste make it an excellent choice for seafood lovers and health-conscious eaters.

When the grill is ready, grill the fish for about five minutes or until it is firm enough to flip. Flip it and grill until cooked through, usually another 3-5 minutes. The finished fish should still be juicy and firm but not translucent. It should be easy to cut with a thin knife. Serve with tomato salsa.
