Recipe View Place the marinated halibut fillets on the hot grill and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets and the intensity of the grill heat. (10-14 minutes)

For best results, use fresh, high-quality fish.
Do not over-marinate the fish, as the soy sauce can start to break down the delicate flesh.
If you don't have bourbon whiskey, you can substitute it with apple juice or a similar non-alcoholic alternative for a slightly sweeter flavor profile.
Ensure the grill is properly preheated before placing the fish on it to achieve beautiful grill marks and prevent sticking.
A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice after grilling adds a bright, refreshing finish.

    I accidentally marinated the fish for over an hour, and it was still delicious! Just be gentle when grilling so it doesn't fall apart.

    I was skeptical about the bourbon, but it added a wonderful depth of flavor. I will definitely make this again!
