Halibut Recipe – How to Cook Halibut

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

Looking how to cook halibut?  Here’s a great halibut recipe shared by our friend Felicia Perez.  She made this amazing halibut recipe by using the Pork Barrel BBQ All American Spice rub in the halibut and said it was a HUGE hit with her family.  Apparently, after trying this halibut recipe her son asked to try our rub on a turkey burger – and loved it too!

Halibut Recipe:

1.5 lb. Halibut fillet

1 TBSP Pork Barrel BBQ All American Spice Rub

1 TBSP butter sliced into wafer thin strips

1 TBSP green onions (onion and greens) minced

1 TBSP minced fresh garlic

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 TBSP dry white wine (I used Veritas Saddleback Ranch Chardonnay)

Squeeze juice of the lemon of the halibut fillets.

Sprinkle the Pork Barrel BBQ All American Spice Rub over the fish.

Place the slices of butter on the fillet, keeping them more toward center of the fish.

Sprinkle garlic and onion mince over the fillet drizzle white wine over the fish, being careful not to over do it and rinse the spice rub off the fish.

If you are grilling as one whole fillet. roll the fillet over on itself and let it set for 20 mins or so before grilling to raise temperature of the fish and let the flavors soak in a bit.

If the fillets are skinless, spray a sheet of tinfoil or grill sheet with cooking spray.

Grill fish with spice-rubbed side up for 8 – 10 minutes, until it is no longer translucent, but is white all the way through.

Serve with rice and steamed veggies.


Recipe – Scallops, Shrimp & Mixed Vegetables

Saturday, April 18th, 2009
This is the start of a new series of posts that will allow you to follow the food cravings of the guys behind Pork Barrel BBQ this spring, summer, fall (and winter for us!).  My wife says I always start the grilling season off with Scallops – I’m not sure what this says about me as a Midwesterner, but I can tell you there are few things better than the first grilling of the year!
 
Here’s today’s menu: Sea Scallops and Shrimp with Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub and Zucchini, Orange Bell Peppers and Onions.
 

We will also be sharing with you what we are drinking – tonight it is a great (and cheap!!) Organic White Truck Savignon Blanc produced in Ukiah, CA.  I purchased it at Whole Foods for $8.99.

 
INGREDIENTS
 
1 lb Large Sea Scallops (8-10 scallops)
1 lb Peeled and Deveined Shrimp
4 Medium Zucchinis
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1 Medium Onion
Olive Oil
 
RECIPE
 
1. Cut zucchini in half lengthwise, cut onion in 1/2 inch thick rounds, and cut orange bell pepper into quarters. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
 
2. In a plastic bag add shrimp, 1 Tbsp olive oil and Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub - shake vigorously.
 
3. Rub olive oil on scallops and sprinkle with Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub.
 
4. Preheat grill (we only use charcoal) and place vegetables on the grill over direct heat and cook for 4 minutes on one side then flip and cook the vegetables for an additional 4 minutes on other side.  Move vegetables off of direct heat to the side of grill with indirect heat and leave on grill until scallops and shrimp are complete.
 
5. Place scallops and shrimp over direct heat and cook for 3-4 minutes per side and remove from grill.
 
 
Here’s what it looks like on the grill when it is done!
 
 
6. Finally, chop up the vegetables into bit sized pieces and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Pork Barrel BBQ’s All American Spice Rub.
 

 7. Enjoy!
