Seafood is great on the grill, and provides an alternative heavier meats. Tired of steak and chicken BBQ? Seafood is the perfect new option. Grilled seafood with a salad for a light summer dinner.

Lemon Halibut

Seafood with lemon is nothing earth shattering, but when you grill it, the flavors move a bit rightway
8 halibut fillets
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary - crushed

1. Stir the lemon juice, chicken broth, and cornstarch in a skillet.  Bring to a boil and stir for a minute.

2. Turn the heat off & mix in the remaining stuff. The sauce should stay warm to put over the fish.

3. Cooking the fish is easy but you need to rub the grilling rack with oil to prevent sticking. Grill the fish fillets for about 5/6 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes with a fork.
Salmon Steaks PanAsian Style

For seafood with an PanAsian twist, try this straightforward recipe for the grill.
