Grilling Fish Fillets for Memorial Day

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

If you want to grill some fish for Memorial day, this will fit the bill.

Cut up 2 pounds of fish steaks or fillets. Butter six 12″ squares of heavy duty aluminum foil.

Place 1 fish fillet skin side down on 1/2 of each square of foil. Sprinkle with onion powder and garlic powder.

Combine
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons paprika
black or white pepper to taste

Pour this sauce evenly onto the fish. Fold over the aluminum foil and seal the edges by making double folds in the foil. Repeat for all the fillets.

Place them on the grill with the temperature around 500 degrees. If using charcoal, place about 5 or 6 inches from the coals. Close the lid.

Grill for about 8 – 10 minutes, until the fish flakes easily when you test it with a fork. If it doesn’t flake, grill a little longer.

The best fish for grilling using this method are Haddock, Trout, Perch, Swordfish and Scallops.

Plank Grilling Fish

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Have you heard of or ever tried to plank fry fish or chicken? Me either. I just recently heard of it – found this video – and I thought this might be of interest to you. I have a salmon in the freezer for my wife and plan to give this a test in the near future. This method is used to give your food a nice smoky flavor.
