Instructions

• 1 If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes.
• 2 Preheat grill to 375 degrees F.
• 3 Peel a large white or yellow onion and slice it into 3/4″ rounds. Depending on
  the onion’s size, you should have 4 rounds.
• 4 Gently run 2 of the onion rounds onto each skewer.
• 5 Brush both sides of the onions with olive oil and season with salt.
• 6 Place the onion skewers on the grill grate and cook for 3 minutes per side until
  the onions are soft and browned.
• 7 Promptly remove, cover, and keep warm.
• 8 Place the cast-iron pan on the grill to preheat for a few minutes until it
  starts to smoke.
• 9 Meanwhile, pat halibut fillets with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  Season with salt and black pepper.
• 10 Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to the cast-iron skillet and let it heat up to a
  light smoke.
• 11 Gently place the halibut fillets in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or
  until they reach an internal temperature of at least 140 degrees F.
• 12 Using heat-resistant gloves, remove the skillet from the grill and place it on a
  heat-safe surface.
• 13 Plate the halibut topped with chopped grilled onion, parsley, and chives. Then
  drizzle a little fresh lemon juice and olive oil on top. We like to sprinkle the
  fish with some flaked salt right before serving, but this step is not necessary.
