Grilled Halibut with Chili Butter Sauce and Snow Peas Recipe

Halibut has a firm texture that can handle the grill beautifully. The chili butter sauce compliments the char of a grill and the delicate flavor of the fish. Crisp snap peas add a nice crunch. Serve with parmesan couscous that will soak up the chili butter sauce and add delicious flavor to your plate.
