Jerk Halibut Steaks with Sweet Potato Wedges

Since today is Ash Wednesday, I have decided to make dinner with fish tonight. I'm not a huge fan of fish, unless it's Salmon, but we had a friend of ours give us some Halibut they caught a few months ago. I've never cooked or eaten Halibut, but a lot of others have told me that it taste almost as good as Salmon, so I thought why not give it a try. So, tonight we're having...


Jerk Halibut Steaks with Sweet Potato Wedges


Ingredients
  • 2 pound(s) (about 2 large) sweet potatoes
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoon(s) fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoon(s) Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon(s) peeled, grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon(s) ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • Salt
  • 4 piece(s) (about 6 ounces each) halibut steaks, 1-inch thick
Directions
  1. Lightly grease grill rack. Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling over medium heat.
  2. Cut each unpeeled sweet potato lengthwise in half. Place sweet potato halves on microwave-safe plate and cook in microwave oven on High 8 minutes or until almost fork-tender, re­arranging sweet potatoes halfway through cooking.
  3. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine green onions, jalapeño, lime juice, Worcestershire, ginger, thyme, allspice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add halibut steaks, turning to coat. Let stand 5 minutes.
  4. Cut each sweet potato half into 4 wedges. In another medium bowl, toss sweet potatoes with 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper until coated.
  5. Place halibut and sweet potatoes on hot grill rack. Spoon half of jerk marinade in bowl on halibut; discard remaining marinade. Grill halibut steaks 8 to 10 minutes or until opaque throughout, turning over once. Grill sweet potato wedges 6 to 7 minutes or until tender and lightly charred, turning over once. Transfer to platter as they are done. Garnish with lime wedges.
