Ingredients

Lingcod fillets

olive or vegetable oil

lemon pepper

salt

salted butted

fresh lemon

Preheat your grill to 350-375 degrees. To make cleanup simple, add a sheet of aluminum foil with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent lingcod from sticking to the foil.

**The combination of butter and lemon pepper give the lingcod a delicious flavor.**

Generously season the lingcod fillets with lemon pepper and sea salt. You may want to add a little garlic as well. Top each fillet with a slice of butter.

**The melting butter keeps the fillets firm and moist.**

Cook the fillets for 8 to 10 minutes without turning. Thicker fillets may take longer. The fish is done when the inside has an opaque color and the fillets easily flake apart.

**The fillets are done in 8 to 10 minutes.**

Serve the fillets with a squeeze of fresh lemon.

Grilled lingcod or rockfish also make excellent fish tacos. Add homemade pico de gallo and a combination of shredded cabbage and crema. Serve with flour or corn tortillas.
