GRILLED FISH

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except fish and lemon wedges and mix well. Using a pastry brush, paint the fish steaks liberally on both sides and set them aside, lightly covered with a piece of aluminum foil, to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Build up a fire, using good hardwoods if you're cooking in a fireplace or the best hardwood charcoal (not fake-wood briquettes) if you're using a grill. Let the fire burn brightly and die down until you have a nice bed of hot coals or embers. Large pieces of fish can be set directly on the grill, but to prevent smaller ones from falling through and burning up, you may want to use a special grid made for fish.
• When you're ready to cook, brush a little plain olive oil on the cooking surface and set it 4 to 6 inches from the source of heat.Arrange the fish steaks so that they have equal access to the heat source. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, turning once. Test for doneness-fish should be opaque all the way through-by inserting the tip of a sharp knife near the bone or in the center of a boneless piece of fish. Remove immediately to a hot platter.
• The remaining marinade should be heated just to the boiling point and either poured over the cooked fish or passed at the table along with lemon wedges.

GRILLED FISH

Steps:

• Brush grill rack with vegetable oil or spray with cooking spray. Prepare the coals or a gas grill for direct heat. Heat to medium heat, which will take about 40 minutes for charcoal or about 10 minutes for a gas grill.
• Cut fish into 4 serving pieces. Brush fish with about half of the butter; sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
• Place the fish on the grill rack (if fish fillets have skin, place skins side down). Cover the grill; cook 10 to 14 minutes, brushing 2 or 3 times with remaining butter, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED FISH IN FOIL

Steps:

• On 4 large buttered squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil, place equal amounts of fish.
• In small saucepan, melt margarine; add lemon juice, parsley, dill weed, salt and pepper.
• Pour equal amounts over fish.
• Sprinkle with paprika; top with onion slices.
• Wrap foil securely around fish, leaving space for fish to expand.
• Grill 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until fish flakes with fork.
• Refrigerate leftovers.

GRILLED FISH STEAKS

Steps:

• In a stainless steel or glass bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and parsley.
• Place the halibut filets in a shallow glass dish or a resealable plastic bag, and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover or seal and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil grate. Set grate 4 inches from the heat.
• Remove halibut filets from marinade and drain off the excess. Grill filets 5 minutes per side or until fish is done when easily flaked with a fork.
