This was so delicious. The recipe doesn't call for it, but make sure you salt and pepper the halibut before placing it on top of bean mixture. I also added a bit of salt to the bean mixture (diamond Kosher - less salty). Cooked on the grill in pkg for 15 minutes and it was absolutely perfect. At first I thought it was too much bean mixture but after it cooks it was a perfect portion as the tomatoes cooked down. Delicious sauce. I did double the pesto - used the 2 tbsp. in the bean mixture and added tBsp each after finished cooking. Seriously a keeper. Would be so easy to double and serve 4 or more as long as you have room on grill. Thank you!

I got this recipe many years ago from a recipe card at VONS. It has been the single best fish I've ever made. I sometimes substitute with tilapia or cod. Always perfect!

Delicious and healthy! Full of fiber and omega 3s, yet it tasted fantastic. My only suggestion would be to either cut the tomato/bean mixture in half, or use four fish steaks. I had to throw some of it out because I couldn't pile it any higher. Other than than, it was a winner that would be a great do-ahead dish for a dinner party. Thank you.
