Grilled Fish With Lemon Sauce
Ingredients
2–3 sprigs fresh Italian parsley (rinsed)
1 lemon (for juice, rinsed)
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
4 fish fillets (snapper, orange roughy, or tilapia), 1 1/2 lb; thawed, if needed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
cooking spray
Steps
- Preheat 2-sided tabletop grill. Chop parsley finely; set aside. Squeeze juice of lemon into small bowl. Whisk in mayonnaise and honey until smooth; set aside.
- Always check fish carefully and remove any bones. Lay fish, skin side down, over an inverted bowl; the curve lifts the bones. Use fingertips to feel for bones that may not be visible. Season fish with salt and pepper; lightly coat on both sides with cooking spray. Place fish on grill (wash hands); grill 3–4 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
Note: If using regular grill, or a grill pan on stovetop, double cooking time, turning once.
- Transfer fish to serving dish and top with lemon sauce; sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Apron's Advice
Choose your favorite fresh herb (oregano, basil, tarragon, or dill) to replace the Italian parsley and give the fish your own signature flair.
