Serves 4

Ponzu, a light, citrus-based sauce of Japanese origin that's bright, tart and slightly salty on the tongue, makes an excellent dipping sauce for seafood and this mouth watering marinade for grilled halibut.

    Method: 

    Place halibut steaks in a single layer in a shallow dish and pour ponzu sauce over the top. Cover and refrigerate, turning from time to time, for 1 to 2 hours.

    Meanwhile, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, honey, ginger, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add jicama, peppers, onions and cilantro and toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate slaw for at least 1 hour.

    Prepare and heat grill. Lightly oil the bars of the grill by dipping a tightly folded paper towel in the oil, then holding it with long handled tongs and rubbing the grates all over. Grill halibut over medium high heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. (Rotate a quarter of a turn after 2 minutes on each side to create attractive grill marks, if you like.) Serve grilled fish topped with jicama and bell pepper slaw.
