Ingredients
Fish
- 4 Each Cobia Fillets (Large)
Marinade
- 1/3 Cup Unsalted Butter (melted)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat the grill on high setting and clean the grates if necessary to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat the Fillets: Brush the marinade liberally over both sides of the cobia fillets for maximum flavor infusion.
- Grill the Fish: Place the coated fillets on the preheated grill and cook for about 6 to 7 minutes on each side, until the fish is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Rest before Serving: Remove the grilled cobia from the grill and cover with foil for a couple of minutes to let the juices redistribute while you finish preparing any sides.
Notes
- Ensure the grill is properly preheated to avoid sticking.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor.
- Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets; the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.
- Resting the fish under foil helps keep it moist and tender.
