Step 1

To prepare Halibut Cheeks, pat dry, and half. Season with salt, pepper, and smoke paprika - both sides

Step 2

Combine oil and butter in saute pan to medium heat. Add Garlic and let simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add onions. Saute for about 10 minutes, until translucent and fragrant. Add zest, juice, capers and saute an additional 2 minutes

Step 3

Add white wine and simmer for 5-10 minutes in the pan until alcohol burns off. Season with Salt, Pepper, and Smoke Paprika. If you want a little kick now you would add the Chili powder to taste.

Step 4

In foil wraps, separate portions (about 5-6 cheek pieces) to their own tin wrap. Spoon sauce equally amongst the portions. Top with halved tomatoes and seal tin foil wraps.

Step 5

Place tin wraps on the pre-heated grill (375F) and cook for about 5 minutes and then flip the packet and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove and serve

Step 6

For a quick side, as pictured, I prepared New Potatoes (aka baby potatoes) halved in a tin wrap coated with olive oil, 2 tablespoons chicken broth, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic, thyme, and oregano, and 3-4 tablespoon butter tabs. I placed this in the grill 30 minutes before cook of the halibut so was done at the same time. During plating spoon potatoes and fish on a plate and pour juice over the entire dish. The potatoes really soak up that extra flavor.
