Step

  • Step 1

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 375°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

  • Step 2

    To make the sauce, place wine, water, shallots, vinegar, salt and pepper in a sauce pan over medium to high heat. Bring to a boil to reduce it by about 1/3 cup.

    Ingredients
    • 1 Cup white wine

    • 1/2 Cup water

    • 1/4 Cup finely chopped shallots

    • 1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar

    • 1/2 Teaspoon freshly ground white pepper

    • 1/2 Teaspoon salt

  • Step 3

    Once reduced, transfer to a food processor bowl to purée, then transfer back to the sauce pan and add the cream.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Tablespoon heavy cream

  • Step 4

    Turn the heat to low, and add butter little by little, slowly whisking with a wire whisk after each addition (this should take about 3 to 4 minutes to add all the butter). Beat steadily, the sauce should never boil.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Stick unsalted sweet cream butter

  • Step 5

    Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm until ready to serve.

    Ingredients
    • 1/2  lemon, juiced

    • To Taste salt and pepper

  • Step 6

    Add olive oil to Dutch oven and place directly on the grill grate to pre-heat.

    Ingredients
    • 1/4 Cup olive oil

  • Step 7

    Season halibut with salt and pepper and place inside the hot Dutch oven.

    Ingredients
    • 4  thick-cut halibut fillets

  • Step 8

    Cook approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 130°F and fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

    375 ˚F / 191 ˚C

    130 ˚F / 54 ˚C

  • Step 9

    Serve halibut with butter sauce over. Enjoy!
