  • Pat halibut dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oil, orange juice, lemon juice, honey, Italian seasoning, garlic, and red pepper flakes in a glass or ceramic bowl for marinade with a whisk to make sure it is well blended. Add halibut and let marinate for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove fish from marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook halibut on the preheated grill horizontally for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook vertically for perfect grill marks until it springs back with a mild resistance and flakes easily with a fork, 5 to 7 minutes more; be careful not to overcook. Remove from grill and sprinkle with fresh dill.
  • Combine salad greens, mushrooms, mango, papaya, onion, bacon, and feta cheese in a bowl.
  • Whisk salad dressing, orange juice, and honey for dressing together in another bowl. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Serve with grilled halibut.
