Grilled Halibut With Lemon-Herb Crust - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup breadcrumbs
    2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
    1 tablespoon lemon zest
    salt & pepper
    1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, melted
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
    1 chopped green onion
    1 chopped plum tomato
    1 lb halibut fillet, about 1/2 inch thick, skin left on
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
Preparation
    In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
    Add melted butter and toss with a fork to form a crumbly mixture.
    In another small bowl, combine mayonnaise, green onion and tomato. (The recipe says to add 1 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon but I never have it so I omit it).
    Arrange fish, skin side down, on a platter. Spread each fillet with mayonnaise mixture. Press crumbs mixture onto each fillet.
    Preheat barbecue on high for 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-high and barbecue fish skin side down until fish flakes easily with a fork and topping is nicely brown - about 10-12 minutes.
    Drizzle lemon juice over fillets and serve immediately.
