Some people are intimidated by grilling fish but it’s actually really easy! Katie’s number one tip is to start with a clean grill to which you’ve applied a small amount of oil to prevent the fish from sticking. Choose a firm fish that will hold up well such as swordfish, tuna, salmon, or mahi-mahi. Season it well and resist the urge to check on it until it’s time to flip.
