Asian inspired "grilled" halibut

This is a new favorite recipe! I found it on allrecipes.com and love it!!! I will copy the recipe into the post but first here are a few notes

* I make the sauce and use it as a marinade for about 30 minutes before cooking and skip the basting step.

* I tend to cook the meat/fish in a "foil pack" on the grill but have also done so in the oven since I prefer my fish to be moist and not have the crispy edges.

*I have used halibut, cod, tilapia, chicken and even a pork chop in this same recipe all turned out fabulous!!!


Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (1 pound) halibut steak
Directions
1.Preheat grill for medium-high heat.
2.Place butter, brown sugar, garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, and pepper in a small saucepan. Warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely dissolved.
3.Lightly oil grill grate. Brush fish with brown sugar sauce, and place on grill. Cook for 5 minutes per side, or until fish can be easily flaked with a fork, basting with sauce. Discard remaining basting sauce.
