Grilled halibut topped with homemade herb vinaigrette

Herb Vinaigrette:

Combine these ingredients and mix thoroughly. The vinaigrette will keep for a week in the refrigerator. In addition to serving with grilled halibut, you can also use the vinaigrette on salads, steamed vegetables, or as a dipping oil for fresh bread.

• 2/3 cup olive oil (use the best quality you have, I used 1/3 cup lemon infused, 1/3 cup extra virgin)
• juice of 1/2 large lemon
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinaigrette
• 1 large or 2 small cloves garlic crushed
• 1 tsp brown mustard
• 1-2 tbs fresh herbs (I used about 1 tbs fresh chives minced, and 1 tbs fresh basil minced. You can use any fresh herb that sounds good to you.)
• dash of salt
• splash of honey

Grilled Halibut:

1. Buy one or more steaks 1″ or thicker
2. Clean your grill grate, then rub with oil (I used olive oil)
3. Rinse and pat dry the halibut steaks
4. Rub each side of the steak with olive oil and fresh lemon juice
5. Grill the steaks on mediumish heat, about 5 minutes on each side (if the steaks are thicker than 1″ add a little time)
6. Serve topped lightly with the vinaigrette
