Ingredients

• 2 3/4 pounds halibut filets or steaks

Sauce

• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 2 teaspoons lime zest (from 2 limes)
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons very finely chopped fresh cilantro (or more, I used about 1/4 cup)

Here's how to make it: 

1. Sauté garlic in a small amount of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and lime zest and simmer about 10 minutes, until stock is slightly reduced. Stir in lime juice and olive oil and heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cilantro and cook 1 minute more.
2. Brush fish on both sides with sauce and let marinate 15 minutes while you preheat a gas grill or charcoal grill to high heat. (For fish, I spray my grill with nonstick spray before I start heating it.) Grill fish until firm, but not hard, to the touch, about 5 minutes per side. To get nice grill marks, lay fish on a diagonal to grill slats, then rotate after about 3 minutes cooking time on the first side. Serve fish hot with additional sauce spooned over each piece of fish.
