•
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
•
1 cup orange juice
•
1/2 medium lemon, juiced
•
2 tablespoons honey
•
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
•
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
•
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
•
1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
•
1 (8 ounce) package mixed salad greens
•
1 cup sliced baby bella mushrooms
•
1 medium mango - peeled, seeded and diced
•
1 medium papaya - peeled, seeded and cubed
•
1/2 small red onion, chopped

Directions
1
Pat halibut dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a glass or ceramic bowl for marinade with a whisk to make sure it is well blended. Add halibut and let marinate for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
2
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove fish from marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
3
Cook halibut on the preheated grill horizontally for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook vertically for perfect grill marks until it springs back with a mild resistance and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes more; be careful not to overcook. Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh dill.
4
Combine salad greens, mushrooms, mango, papaya, onion, bacon, and feta cheese in a bowl.
5
Whisk salad dressing, orange juice, and honey for dressing together in another bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve with grilled halibut.
