Category: Fish and Seafood
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

4 tilapia fillets, about 6 oz. each
Olive oil
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick)
2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice

For the spicy lemon pepper rub:
1/4 cup lemon pepper seasoning
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander
1 1/2 tsp firmly packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 tsp kosher or coarse sea salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Prepare a hot fire in a grill. Oil the grill grate and a perforated grill rack.

To make the rub, combine all the ingredients in a small jar with a tight-fitting lid. Secure the lid and shake to blend. Brush or spray the fillets on both sides with olive oil and sprinkle each fillet with about 1 tsp of the rub. (Save the rest for later use; it will keep in the cupboard for several months.)

Place the fish, flesh side down, on the oiled, perforated grill rack and grill for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, turning once halfway through. A fish fillet is done when it begins to flake when tested with a fork in the thickest part. Remove from the grill and season with salt and pepper.

Combine the melted butter and lemon juice and drizzle the lemon butter over the grilled fish. Serve hot. Serves 4
