Halibut has a delicate flavor, and overseasoning it might ruin the taste, so going with mild flavors is the best way to enjoy it.

Steps
1 Done | Preheat the grill to 400°F. |
2 Done | Lightly brush the halibut fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season them with the Mediterranean-style rub. |
3 Done | Place the seasoned halibut of the grill flesh side down and allow to cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the fillets to make criss-cross grill marks and grill for another 1 to 2 minutes, then flip the fillets and close the grill lid. |
4 Done | Meanwhile, melt a tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add shallots and sweat until soft for about 3 minutes. |
5 Done | Deglaze the pan with champagne and make sure to scrape the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. |
6 Done | Bring the champagne to a boil and maintain it until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the thyme and 4 tablespoons of cold butter and stir the sauce until the butter is fully melted and the sauce has emulsified, then take it off the heat. |
7 Done | Thread grapes on the bamboo skewers. |
8 Done | Grill the skewered grapes for 3 to 4 minutes, turning once. |
9 Done | When the halibut is ready, remove the fillets carefully using a spatula, leaving the skin on the grill. |
10 Done | Place the fish fillets on the serving platter and allow the skins to crisp for 1 to 2 minutes before removing them and slicing them into thin strips. |
11 Done | Pout the butter-champagne sauce over the halibut and garnish the platter with the skewered grapes and crispy skin strips. |
