Instructions

Step 1

Light a grill for medium heat with space for off-heat grilling, if needed.

Step 2

Heat a small saucepan over medium-low heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the apricot preserves and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the glaze thickens, 4 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from the heat, cover, and let stand while the fish grills.

Step 5

Rub the opah pieces with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub the grill grate with oil.

Step 6

Grill the fish off heat until lightly charred on the outside and but still opaque in the middle, 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. (Tip: If your fish pieces are very thick, you can turn them to grill on all 4 sides for about 2 minutes each, instead of just grilling on the top and bottom sides.)

Step 7

Transfer to plates, brush with glaze, and serve right away.
