Firecracker Halibut - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon paprika
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 (4 -6 ounce) alaska halibut steaks, fresh, thawed, frozen
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Preheat broiler/oven or grill to medium-high heat.
Mix together all dry seasoning ingredients until well combined.
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Halibut under cold water, pat dry with paper towel. Place halibut on a spray-coated or foil-lined baking sheet. Brush butter onto top surfaces of halibut and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mixture (note: for best results with frozen fish, cook halibut 4 minutes before adding butter and spices.).
Grill or broil halibut 5-7 inches from heat for 13 minutes for frozen halibut OR 8 minutes for fresh/thawed fish . Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
Store remaining seasoning mixture in an airtight container for future use.
