Perfectly Grilled Fish

Grilled trout has always been an all time favorite. This tasty grilled trout recipe blends a multitude of flavors into one incredible tasting fish meal. Add a side dish of roasted potatoes for extra punch!

1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter, melted

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne

1/4 teaspoon hot sauce

6 (6 to 8 ounce) fish fillets, preferably trout or redfish, or any firm, white fish

1. Combine the butter, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, cayenne and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat.

2. Whisk until the butter is melted. Remove from heat and cool for several minutes.

3. Put the fish in a shallow bowl and pour the butter sauce over the fillets and let stand for about 30 minutes.

4. Remove the fish from the marinade. Reserve the marinade.

5. Place the fish either directly on the grill or in a grill basket, over a medium fire. Close the lid. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

6. Turn, then brush with the reserved marinade and cook for another 5 to 8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve immediately.
