Step by Step Instructions

• Step 1 – Heat Grill – Preheat the grill over medium high heat (350-400 degrees Fahrenheit). Then pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. 

Step 2 – Combine Seasoning – Combine the seasoning together in a small bowl. 

Step 3 – Oil Haddock – Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil onto both sides of the fish fillets. Then season both sides of the fish with the seasoning mixture. 

Step 4 – Oil Grill Grates – Rub the remaining olive oil onto the grill grates. This keeps the fish from sticking to the grill.

Step 5 – Grill Fish – Place the fish on the grill over direct heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit).  

• Step 7 – Serve and Enjoy – Remove the fish from the grill.  Serve topped with the lemon juice from the slices and enjoy.
