These moist flaky fillets provide a welcome change of pace at summer cookouts. Chris McBee of Xenia, Ohio peppers a savory herb rub with cayenne, then works it into the fish. Even steak lovers will be smacking their lips.

Excellent! I have never made fish directly on the grill. The oil worked well on the grill - fish started to stick in just a couple spots, use a large spatula to gently loosen and then flip fillets over. I didn't have white pepper, so i just added a few grinds of black pepper, was not too spicy at all. Husband agreed that this is definitely a keeper recipe. Served with salad and a rice side dish. YUM!

My sister and my step-daughter, who do not like fish, love this and now make it frequently. I make it on my George Foreman grill, and it turns out great. Easy, fast, delicious and spiiiiiicy!

I make this recipe regularly, but I bake it in the oven and it still turns out great.
