Step-by-Step Instructions for Orange Dijon Grilled Halibut
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange marmalade, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Gently coat the halibut fillets with the prepared glaze, allowing them to marinate for about 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 400°F) for about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the marinated halibut fillets skin-side down on the grill, cooking for 3-5 minutes until grill marks appear. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes until fish flakes easily.
  5. Remove the grilled halibut from the grill and serve on a platter with extra glaze if desired.
