How to Make Grilled Fish

  1. Marinate: In a large bowl, marinate 1 lb fish fillets in ½ cup salad dressing for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator. (For best results, marinate longer – up to 2 hours)
  2. Preheat: Preheat your BBQ grill to medium-high heat.
  3. Prepare Grill/Broiler: Lightly oil the grill grates OR spray a hinged grill basket with cooking spray. Alternatively, for broiling, preheat your broiler and lightly oil a broiler pan.
  4. Grill/Broil: Place the marinated fish fillets on the prepared grill or broiler pan. Grill or broil for approximately 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Flip halfway through.
  5. Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or your favorite sides.
