Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • four 1-inch-thick halibut steaks (about 3/4 pound each)
  • Accompaniment: fennel tsatsiki

Method

  • Prepare grill.
  • In a dry small skillet toast fennel seeds over moderate heat, shaking skillet, until fragrant and a shade darker.
  • In an electric coffee/spice grinder grind seeds.
  • Mince garlic.
  • Squeeze juice from lemon into a small bowl and stir in fennel, garlic, salt, and oil.
  • Put halibut in a large dish and pour marinade over it, turning fish to coat.
  • Marinate halibut, covered and chilled, at least 10 minutes and no more than 1 hour.
  • Grill halibut on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until just cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side.
  • (Alternatively, grill halibut in a hot oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderate heat.)
  • Serve halibut with tsatsiki.
