Recipe Ingredients:

1/2 cup mayonnaise or low-fat plain yogurt
1 (4-ounce) can mild diced green chiles or 1 large jalapeño, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
4 Alaska Halibut steaks or fillets (4 to 6 ounces each)
1 (12x18-inch) sheet aluminum foil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or chives

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Combine mayonnaise, chiles and lime juice; set aside.
2. Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water; pat dry with paper towel.
3. Place halibut on a spray-coated foil sheet on grill. Cook 9 minutes for frozen halibut or 5 minutes for fresh/thawed fish.
4. Turn halibut over and liberally spoon mayonnaise mixture onto cooked side of each portion. Sprinkle with cilantro and cook an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

Makes 4 servings.
