HOW TO GRILL FISH
Things You’ll Need:
- Barbecue Grill
- Charcoal Lighter
- Grill Basket
- Grill Utensils
- Wire Grill Brush
- Groceries
- fish fillets - one per person
- salt and pepper
- vegetable oil
Step 1:
Light your grill and set it at its highest heat setting. Let it heat up for at least 20 minutes or so.
Step 2:
Check the fish fillets. None should be more than an inch or so thick.
Step 3:
Season the fish well with salt and pepper or your desired dry seasoning.
Step 4:
Make sure that you have all your utensils next to the grill, along with a clean plate or dish to hold the cooked fish.
Step 5:
Oil the grill grate lightly, then repeat. This coat of oil will prevent the fish from sticking and will promote the formation of grill marks.
Step 6:
Lay the fish in the center of the grill directly above the heat source. There should be an audible sizzle. Avoid cooler sections of the grill and indirect heat.
Step 7:
Wait about 2 minutes, then slide the prongs of a broiler fork between the bars of the grill grate and slide them under the fish. Gently lift up a section of fish to check the cooking and look for the formation of grill marks.
Step 8:
When grill marks form, use the broiler fork to lift up a corner of the fillet, and slide a spatula under the fish.
Step 9:
Turn the fish over and cook the other side.
Step 10:
Use the broiler fork to flake open a section of one fillet to check for doneness. If the interior of the fillet is no longer translucent, the fish is cooked.
Step 11:
Remove the fillets as soon as they're done.
