Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Halibut Cheeks
  • Center Cut Bacon 1 slice per halibut cheek
  • Your Favorite BBQ rub or Seafood Seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Par cook the bacon by frying until just beginning to brown but still pliable enough to wrap around the halibut cheeks.
  • Wrap one piece of bacon around each halibut cheek and secure with a toothpick.
  • Liberally season with you BBQ rub or seafood seasoning.
  • Cook over indirect heat, on your grill or smoker, at 300 degrees. Flip every 5 minutes. Remove when the fish reaches an internal temperature or 130 degrees. The halibut cheeks should be opaque throughout. This typically takes under 15 minutes, but cook times can vary.
