Perfect (Spicy) Grilled Fish Recipe

Step 1

Over low heat, melt the butter in a metal baking dish.

Step 2

Stir in the lime juice, hot sauce, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Cut the fillets into 3-inch pieces. (This will make them easier to grill and give them more surface area for the sauce.)

Step 4

Add fish fillet pieces to the pan and marinate for a few minutes. (Keep the pan warm or the butter will congeal.)

Step 5

Grill the fish on high heat for about 5 to 10 minutes, basting with the excess marinade as you go. (The melted butter will cause flare-ups on the grill that will help get a nice char on the fish.)

Step 6

Once the fish is cooked, heat the reserved marinade until the butter is melted, whisk it, and drizzle on top before serving.

Step 7

Season the fish with salt and pepper to taste.
