Time for a cook-out! Grill this impressive dish with all your guests watching. In a little over 30 minutes, guests can feast on this delicious herby grilled fish. They will muse at your use of whole rosemary sprigs to flavour the fish and create an attractive aroma. Firm-fleshed fish is always the best choice for grilling. Salmon, halibut, catfish, arctic char, and brook trout are all good choices. Keep in mind that thinner fillets or steaks take less time to cook. Use your grill to finish the meal by adding some fresh asparagus, red bell pepper halves (no stems or seeds) and/or thinly sliced potatoes. Grill until tender, turning frequently.
