Instructions:
-
Mix dressing and seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the Miracle Whip, Miracle Whip light, dried marjoram, dried thyme, minced garlic, and ground celery seed. Stir until well incorporated to create a flavorful dressing.
-
Prepare the fish: Preheat your BBQ grill to medium heat, ensuring it’s clean and lightly greased to prevent sticking. Alternatively, if using a broiler, adjust the rack to a position 2-4 inches from the heat source. Place the fish fillets on the grill or broiler pan.
-
Brush with dressing: Using a brush or spoon, coat the fish fillets evenly with half of the prepared dressing, ensuring each piece is generously coated with the flavorful mixture.
-
Grill or broil: Cook the fish for 5-8 minutes on one side, depending on the thickness of the fillets and the heat of your grill or broiler. The fish should be opaque and easily flake with a fork when done.
-
Turn and brush again: Carefully flip the fish fillets using a spatula, then brush the tops with the remaining dressing mixture. This step adds an extra layer of flavor and ensures the fish remains moist and delicious.
-
Continue cooking: Grill or broil for an additional 5-8 minutes, or until the fish is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Be sure to monitor closely to prevent overcooking, as fish can dry out quickly if left on the heat for too long.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the BBQ Herb & Garlic Fish to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges if desired. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides and enjoy the delightful flavors of this mouthwatering dish!
Chef’s Tips:
- Experiment with different types of fish to find your favorite flavor combination.
- For added freshness, squeeze some lemon juice over the fish before serving.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a crisp salad for a well-rounded meal.
- Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of your fish fillets to ensure they are cooked to perfection without drying out.
- Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week to use for future grilling adventures.
