We can’t get enough barbecued fish at our house. This recipe can be made ahead and served cold, or you can eat it hot off the grill. It’s fantastic either way! —Martha Benoit, Proctorsville, Vermont

Ingredients

  • 2 large ears sweet corn, husked
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
