This is a healthy and light dish. Fillet of Halibut is marinated in herbs,garlic and white wine then grilled to perfection and served just like that or with sweet red pepper sauce on top .You can use cilantro or parsley instead of rosemary and basil.

Place fillets in a bowl and pour marinade over.
Let it marinade for at least 30 minutes.

Grill about 5 minutes each side.
* to make sure fish wont stick to the grates spray a non stick cooking spray or brush  olive oil on the grates.
