COLD
GRILLED HALIBUT WITH CRANBERRY FOOL
Serves
4
1 lb.
fresh halibut fillet, 1"-thick
1 cup Cranberry Fool
1 tablespoon ruby grapefruit zest
1 tablespoon Champagne vinegar
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 shallot, minced
The
halibut:
Heat cast-iron grill over high heat for at least 10 minutes.
Rinse and skin fillet and pat dry.
Grill halibut for 5 minutes -- 3 minutes on first side, then 2 minutes
on the second side. (It is very important that you not touch the fillet
on the grill except to turn it once; if the fillet doesn't sear properly
on each side, it will stick to the grill.)
Refrigerate, tightly wrapped until completely chilled, then serve cool.
The sauce:
Combine remainder of ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and stir until
mixed. Let sit for 1 hour until flavors have blended.
Gently cut fillet into serving portions and nap with sauce.
Serve any remaining sauce on the side.
Succulent summer fare. Pair it with a light couscous pilaf and a
chilled green vegetable for an easy al fresco dinner.
