Cup of Yum
For the fish:
- Lightly oil the fish on all sides and season with salt and pepper, then pour the lemon and dill on the belly. Grill on a well-heated grill pan at medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side and serve with the oil and lemon. The cooking time will depend on the size of the fish and, of course, the intensity of the heat.
- A good way to tell when the fish is done is to see if the meat can be easily separated from the central backbone. The meat should just about pull away. The fish will continue to cook for a few minutes off the heat so it will be done by the time you put it on your plate.
