Jerk Halibut

Mom and Dad came to visit Michael and me to see our new apartment now that we're all settled in. We started with hummus and chips, then moved on to beet salad on a bed of greens. For our main course, we had polenta ratatouille casserole and Jamaican jerk halibut. Michael made the halibut using jerk spices we brought back from Belize. We used a stove-top grill/griddle pan that we got as a wedding present. Indoor grilling is smoky, but it got great results!

Testimonial: it was all fantastic! The jerk halibut was tender and sweet. The polenta was divine. I got to have feta in my beet salad, which was delicious. And the ambiance was superb.

Sounds amazing! I'm looking forward to eating lots of good fish this week.
I want a grill for our fire escape.
