| Broiling |
|
 |
1. Use a ruler to measure the distance between your broiler pan and heat source. Position your pan so it’s 4 inches from the heat. Preheat your broiler. Grease the unheated rack of a broiler pan.
2. Place the fillets or steaks on the broiler pan’s greased rack. Tuck under any thin edges of fillets. Brush with a small amount of melted butter or margarine or coat with butter-flavor nonstick cooking spray.
3. Broil 4 to 6 minutes per 1⁄2-inch thickness. If the fish is 1 inch or more thick, turn it once halfway through broiling with a metal pancake turner. |

1. Arrange fish in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. For fillets, tuck under any thin edges. Cover fish with vented plastic wrap.

Direct Grilling |
|
1. Grease a grill basket. Place fish in grill basket.
2. For a charcoal grill, heat coals to medium. Place fish on grill rack directly over medium coals. Grill, uncovered, for 4 to 6 minutes per 1⁄2-inch thickness, turning once halfway through grilling and brushing with melted butter or margarine, if desired. For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish on grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as for charcoal grill.
