BBQ PROCEDURES:

  1. Be sure your BBQ planks are well soaked. Then place the halibut fillets on the plank. Season each fillet with ½ tsp. of Creole spice. Then top each fillet with two tablespoons of pecan butter. Be sure the pecan butter is very soft, as it will spread easier.

  2. Place the planks on the BBQ grill over medium high heat, cover the grill and cook for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the pecan butter is slightly browned and the fish has an internal temperature of 125 degrees. Remove from the grill.  Serve with a lemon slice. Cajun Rice and fried okra make a great accompaniment.

    * If using catfish or another thinner piece of fish, cook for less time.
