GRILLED WHOLE FISH
Cooking small whole fish, as opposed to fillets, optimizes flavor and juiciness, because the skin and a thin layer of (healthy) fat insulate the meat -- and it couldn't be easier. Mild, white-fleshed branzino is almost tailor-made for the technique: It has relatively few bones and they're simple to remove, so the fish is very easy to serve and eat.

Steps:
- Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
- Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
- Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
- Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
- Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
- Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

- Spiced Salmon Kebabs. These simple salmon kebabs are made even easier when you thread the salmon onto two skewers. This helps keep the flaky fish in place as you turn the skewers on the grill.
- Grilled Red Mullet with Charred Onions and Pine Nuts. The real star of this dish is the agrodolce, the sweet-and-sour condiment made from capers, pine nuts, raisins, and red wine vinegar.
- Fish Tacos al Pastor. Inspired by the classic pork al pastor marinade, the most involved part of this grilled halibut recipe can be prepped ahead of time.
- Grilled Swordfish with Tomatoes and Oregano. This grilled swordfish recipe instructs you to grill the swordfish steaks first, and then marinate them in a dressing of red wine vinegar, oregano, and capers.
- Grilled Spiced Snapper With Mango and Red Onion Salad. Grilling a whole fish might feel daunting to some home cooks, but you can do it! This recipe walks you step-by-step through turning the fish on the grill grate (hint: using two spatulas is key).
- Grilled Flatfish With Pistachio-Herb Sauce. To grill flatfish, cut it into wide chunks but leave the skin and bones intact. The bones help keep the fish together on the grill, and the skin gets crispy while the fish inside stays perfectly tender.
- Crispy-Skinned Salmon with Whole Lemon–Sesame Sauce. Adding an entire lemon (yes, the whole thing—skin, pith, and flesh) gives brightness and texture to this sauce, far beyond what lemon juice alone would do.
- Grilled Halibut With Tomatoes and Hearts of Palm. Few things could be simpler—or more rewarding—than easy grilled fish recipes like this one. For meaty steaks of swordfish, albacore, and halibut, all you need is a kiss of high heat from a grill and a simple vinaigrette.
- Grilled Salmon Steaks with Cilantro-Garlic Yogurt Sauce. Pro tip: You'll want to drizzle this sauce over everything, so make a big batch to carry you through the week.
- Sweet and Salty Fish Collars. The collar, the part between the head and the body, can be one of the most delicious parts of a fish. Try this sweet and salty sauce with the collar of grilled cod, or another white fish like tilapia, sole, snapper, or even catfish.
TOP 28 GRILLED FISH RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
- Ginger-Lime Swordfish. Swordfish is wonderful when prepared on the grill. The firm meat holds together well and it grills a lot like a good steak. This recipe includes a sweet and sour, Asian-inspired marinade that brings out the flavors of the fish and creates the perfect crust on the grill.
- Salmon With Lemon and Thyme. The combination of lemon and thyme is made for salmon, and this grilled salmon recipe is sure to become a dinnertime standby.
- Garlic Halibut Steaks. Halibut might just be the perfect fish for the grill and easily can become a personal favorite. It can be a bit of a splurge, but this recipe makes it worth the price.
- Sea Bass With Garlic Butter. Sea bass can be something of a blank canvas when it comes to flavor. This recipe features a rich garlic butter that is used to baste the fish after it is flipped on the grill, making for a fish dish that is quick and easy, and one that everyone will love.
- Blackened Red Snapper. Blackened fish typically comes out of a flaming hot skillet, but this version reduces the oil and puts it on an equally hot grill.
- Firecracker Salmon. The spicy Asian-inspired marinade for this salmon loads it up with flavor. The marinade combines Sambal chili paste with soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, and garlic.
- Lime and Basil Tilapia. Let's be honest—tilapia is a type of fish that can really use a flavor boost. This recipe infuses a good dose of lime and basil to this grilled fish after a short time in the marinade.
- Onion Butter Cod. Cod is a great fish for the grill. It may need a gentle touch, but the buttery texture is fantastic. In this recipe, the butter flavored with white wine and onion is basted on the cod as it grills, creating layers of flavors on the fish as it cooks.
- Basil-Rosemary Grilled Trout. Trout is a popular fish that is lovely when it is freshly caught and cooked over a campfire. Although it is more likely we'll be cooking on a grill in our backyard, this fish will still be delicious, especially on a charcoal grill.
- Mexican Red Snapper. This is a classic Mexican recipe for grilling whole red snapper where the entire fish is coated in achiote paste and citrus to build the flavors.
