Grilled Halibut and Bok Choy with Coconut-Lime Dressing – Sizzling Summer Series

When the heat is blazing and the sun is scorching there’s nothing like sitting by the pool under some shade enjoying refreshing drinks and great food with the Sizzling Summer Series from Summerset.  Such a day is perfect for fresh grilled fish like Grilled Halibut and Bok Choy with Coconut-Lime Dressing. Light, flaky, and seasoned with fresh lime and coconut, this halibut and bok choy won’t drag down your overheated metabolism keeping you ready and refreshed for the water action or a siesta.

As with all fish and seafood, begin with the freshest halibut you can find.  If frozen, go for freshly caught fillets over the farmed ones for a healthier, lighter result.  Prepare halibut by seasoning with lime zest, coconut flakes, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on oiled grates over medium heat about five minutes until the center turns slightly opaque. Grilling the bok choy for just 30 seconds unlocks the sweet and mild flavor, which complements the texture of the halibut. The coconut-lime dressing is a simple combination of lime juice, coconut milk, and salt that when drizzled over the finished halibut and bok choy, brings it all together with sweet and citrusy goodness. Enjoy the summer, enjoy the grill, and make new memories this summertime with the Sizzling Summer Series.
