Grilled Halibut with Lemongrass Tomato SauceRomulo Yanes

If you prefer to present these halibut steaks with additional grill marks (as in the photo), you can grill the skin sides for about 1 minute each before grilling flesh.

Cooks' notes:

• If you aren't able to grill outdoors, fish can be grilled in a well-seasoned large ridged grill pan (without crowding) over moderately high heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes total. • Sauce can be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to room temperature or reheat to warm before serving.
