| 2 | tablespoons (30 g) finely chopped red onion |
| 3 | tablespoons (12 g) chopped fresh basil |
| 2 | tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh mint |
| 2 | teaspoons (10 m) olive oil |
| 1 | large garlic clove, minced |
| 1/4 | teaspoon (1.25 ml) kosher salt (optional) |
| 4 | 5-ounce (150 g) halibut fillets, skinned |
- Preheat the grill. (You can make this in the broiler when it's too cold to cook outdoors).
- Place the tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, olive oil and garlic in a bowl to macerate. Season with salt (if using) and pepper.
- Cut four pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap the fillets. Place one fillet in the middle of each piece and top with 1/4 of the tomato salad. Close tightly and place on the grill. Cook for about 15 minutes until the fish flakes when prodded with a fork and the tomatoes are warm. Serve in foil packets.
