Fresh Halibut cheeks are only available for a short time, but they are more than worth the wait. They’re pretty delicate, so plank grilling them is a great way to protect them from falling apart or overcooking.

Chef's Tip
Place the halibut under the other ingredients to help maintain even cooking.

- Place the halibut, thinly sliced leeks, lemon slices, tarragon and oil in a mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- Set the halibut on the planks and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Place the planks on the grill or oven and close the lid or door.
