Barbecue Mahi
Ingredients
1 lemon (for juice, rinsed)
large zip-top bag
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 1/2 lb mahi fillets (skin removed; thawed, if needed)
cooking spray
Steps
1. Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Squeeze juice of one-half lemon into zip-top bag; add remaining ingredients (except fish) and knead bag to blend mixture. Add fish (wash hands); seal bag tightly and marinate 10 minutes, turning occasionally, to evenly coat fish.
2. Coat grill with cooking spray. Place fish on grill (wash hands) and close lid. Grill fish 3-6 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Grill time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish; use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (If using regular grill, double cooking time, turning once.) Serve.

Apron's Advice
Prep time is reduced by having the seafood department remove the skin from the mahi. Instead of mahi, you can also use grouper or snapper.
