Ingredients

For the sauce:

  • 1 bunch green onions about 6
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon about 1 tablespoon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

For the halibut:

  • 4 fresh skinless halibut fillets about 6 ounces each
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

For the sauce:

  1. Heat a grill to medium high (about 400 degrees).
  2. Drizzle olive oil on green onions and toss to coat. Place onions on grill surface and grill covered for 2 minutes. Turn onions over and grill for another 2 minutes.
  3. Remove onions and transfer to a cutting board. Cut the white and light green parts of the onions to 1/2-inch pieces. Discard root end and dark green tops (or save dark green tops for another purpose).
  4. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add grilled green onions, wine, rosemary, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 4 minutes.

For the halibut:

  1. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt and pepper on fillets. Make sure oil completely coats the surface to help prevent fillets from sticking to grill.
  2. Place halibut fillets on grill surface and grill covered, turning once, until fillets flake easily with a fork, about 4 or minutes per side.
  3. Spoon sauce over fillets when serving.
