-
Make the Herb Butter:
In a small bowl, combine the parsley, lemon juice, garlic, and onion (or shallot). Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside. -
Prep the Grill & Planks:
Preheat the grill to 450°F. Soak the alder planks in warm water for 15 minutes to prevent burning. -
Grill the Halibut:
Place the halibut portions on the soaked planks. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Grill for about 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 125°F. -
Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large skillet, melt half of the herb butter and sauté the mushrooms until soft. Add the peas, spinach, and the remaining herb butter. Cook just until the spinach wilts, then remove from heat. -
Serve:
Serve the halibut directly on the plank, topped generously with the buttered mushrooms and spring vegetables.
Enjoy,
