Many fish are excellent for broiling, either indoors or out. Whole fish, fish steak and even fillets can be broiled successfully with a little care.

Always oil the broiler pan or lay a sheet of foil over it. Broil fish 3-4′ from heat. Whole fish and fish steaks should be turned once during cooking. Do not turn fillets. Brush fish well with melted butter or oil: fillets need more lubrication than whole fish or fish steaks. Broil fillets 5-10 minutes, depending on thickness. Steaks will take from 6-12 minutes and whole fish 10-20 minutes, depending on size. Do not overcook.Fish is done when it flakes easily when tested with a fork. If checking with a thermometer, fish is usually ready when the internal temperature reaches 145 °F.

To charcoal broil: place fish in a greased hinged grill as it will be easier to turn. Make sure coals are white hot. Turn fish once or twice during cooking. A whole fish will take about 8 minutes each side, while fish fillets take only 1 1/2–2 minutes per side.

Serve broiled fish plain, or with lemon butter, parsley butter or your favorite herb butter.
