Grilled Halibut with Nectarine and Cherry Salsa
If your halibut sticks to the grill, it’s a good idea to leave the skin on while cooking and then remove the skin before serving. For best grilling results, pray some pan spray on the grates before lighting, set skin side down on grates and don’t flip it unless you’re sure it will work. Close the lid on the ‘cue and the fish will cook throughout.
