Carapelli® Olive Oil Recipe ⋮ Grilled Halibut with Fennel and Orange

Fresh halibut fillets get the royal treatment with a citrus marinade, a quick grilling, and a topping of orange and fennel slices.

Ingredients

• 2 blood oranges or Valencia or Cara Cara oranges
• 3 tablespoons CARAPELLI® Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 4 (4 ounce) skinless halibut or haddock fillets
• ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon coarse sea salt or kosher salt
• ½ cup very thinly sliced small fennel bulb
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

Cooking Directions

1. Heat a grill to medium-high heat or have a ridged grill pan ready. Cut 1 of the oranges in half and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil and juice. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture over fish. Sprinkle paprika over fish; let stand 10 minutes.
2. Peel remaining orange and separate into sections. Add the orange sections and fennel to the bowl; toss with olive oil mixture.
3. Grill fish (or cook in a heated ridged grill pan over medium heat) 4 minutes per side or until fish is opaque in center. Transfer to serving plates and top with fennel and orange mixture and sea salt. Garnish with tarragon if desired.
