Halibut Grilled On A Himalayan Salt Block With Broccolini
I’ve been a huge fan of Himalayan salt for years and recently got into salt block cooking. There are so many health benefits your body can reap from Himalayan salt. Plus, serving a dish on a large slab of Himalayan salt is an easy way to impress your guests!
I’m also a big fan of kitchen appliances in general, every time I see something I just have to have it. Lately I’ve been on an air fryer craze. I can’t get enough homemade fries in air fryer!
Why I love cooking on Himalayan salt blocks
Himalayan salt harbors tons of benefits and cooking on a Himalayan salt block allows you to easily inhibit these benefits without adding too much salt to your food. It’s a mild salt composed of over 80 trace minerals.
Himalayan salt comes from the Punjab region of Pakistan – just under 200 miles from the Himalayas. The Punjab region is one of the richest salt fields in the entire world, dating back to the Precambrian Age. It’s fascinating to think of salt as more profound than just another ingredient in a recipe!
What is a Himalayan salt block?
A Himalayan Salt Block is exactly what it sounds like – a large block of Himalayan salt, used for cooking or serving.
They are one of my favorite cooking surfaces and provide a complex salt flavor without being overbearing. Himalayan salt blocks are easy to use and maintain, and serving on them will make you look quite sophisticated.
This six-step Grilled Halibut recipe had all my friends impressed, mostly because they loved seeing their food served on a giant salt block. But they were even more impressed after tasting the fish!

3 tips for cooking on a Himalayan salt block:
- Let it heat with the grill/oven gradually – heating the block too quickly could result in cracking.
- To clean, scrub the block with a gentle scrub brush and warm water – because the salt block is naturally anti-microbial, you won’t need any soap.
- Keep on cooking – once you’ve heated the salt block, you can continue cooking on it for hours. Host a hibachi night!
