Grilled Halibut with Grapefruit Oregano Relish

I was looking for something different to do with Halibut. I found a recipe that was definitely unique! I wasn't too sure how my family would take to it. Nathan said it was an unusual flavor combination (grapefruit and stone ground mustard) but he said he liked it. He even had a large serving of seconds and really piled on the relish. Now the two littles on the other hand didn't want to try it. I "made" them each try 1 bite with the relish. As expected, they didn't like it. The marinade and the relish are very similar ingredient wise, but once cooked, the fish doesn't have a strong flavor of the marinade so they didn't mind eating the fish without the relish. I did splurge and buy some fresh oregano for this dish.

Grilled Halibut with Grapefruit Oregano Relish

1 1/2 lbs halibut steaks or fillets

MARINADE
3 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 cup grapefruit juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
In a shallow dish, whisk together marinade ingredients; add halibut, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour

GRAPEFRUIT RELISH
1 tablespoon stone ground mustard
1 red grapefruit, sectioned and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
In a small bowl, whisk together the relish ingredients. Cover and refrigerate

Preheat grill or broiler to high. Grill Halibut for about 4 minutes per side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with relish spooned on top.
