Halibut dijon

Serves 4

1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon peel, minced
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons tarragon, finely chopped (or 2 teaspoons dried tarragon)
2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (4-ounce) halibut fillets or steaks
Tarragon or parsley sprigs for garnish

1. In a bowl mix together the lemon juice, peel, mustard, tarragon, parsley, green onions, olive oil, pepper, and salt. Place the halibut in a shallow baking dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Turn the fish to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
2. Preheat the grill or broiler. Remove the fish from the marinade and cook about 3 inches from the grill or broiler for 3 to 6 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until opaque. Garnish with sprigs of tarragon or parsley.
