Peggy Lampman's Friday dinnerFeed: Grilled Halibut, Red Onion and Orange Salad

The onion and halibut have about the same grilling time so the salad comes together quickly. If you can't find halibut, snapper fillets would be a good substitute.

Yield: 2 servings Cost: apx. $18 (depending on market price for halibut) Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika 2 (6-ounce) halibut fillets 1 orange 1 small red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 tablespoon Spanish sherry wine vinegar 2 cups mesclun Several sprigs flat-leaf parsley, optional garnish

Directions

1. Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. 2. Combine 1 tablespoon of the extra-virgin olive oil with the smoked paprika and brush over fish. Lightly season with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. 3. With a toothpick, skewer onion slices through the center to hold in place while grilling. Brush with oil and place on oiled grill grates. Place halibut next to onion on grill. Grill halibut 4 minutes on each side or until fish is just cooked through; if you overcook halibut it will toughen quickly. 4. Zest orange and reserve 1 teaspoon of chopped zest. Remove remove remaining peel and section orange. Make a vinaigrette by whisking together zest, vinegar and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss mesclun with vinaigrette. 5. Center halibut on plates and surround with mesclun. Divide and arrange orange and onion slices over halibut and serve.
