Instructions
Prepare grill to medium-high heat.
To prepare relish, coat bell pepper pieces with cooking spray.
Place pepper pieces on a grill rack; grill 3 minutes on each side or until lightly charred.
Remove from grill; cool slightly. Coarsely chop bell pepper pieces.
Combine chopped bell peppers, parsley, and next 6 ingredients (through garlic); set aside.
To prepare fish, brush 1 tablespoon oil evenly over fish.
Sprinkle fish evenly with thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Place fish on grill rack; grill 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.
Wine note: This dish begs for a good sauvignon blanc. Bell peppers, herbs, and capers all have bold flavors ranging from fresh green to herbal to briny. A good sauvignon will mirror all the green flavors here and provide a crisp counterpoint to the subtle flavor of the fish. Try the Kunde Sauvignon Blanc 2007 from the Sonoma Valley (about $16).

Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Halibut. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. You could try GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.8 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 15 dollars per bottle.
