How to Make Barbecued Spiced Fish
- Pat 1 pound of fish fillets (e.g., cod, salmon, or mahi-mahi) completely dry with paper towels. Brush both sides generously with 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
- In a small bowl, prepare the dry marinade: Combine 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat), and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the buttered fish fillets.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Flip the fillets halfway through the cooking time.
- For best results, store leftover fish in a covered airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- This flavorful marinade is also fantastic on poultry and beef!
