Steps:

• Preheat a grill.

GRILLED TILAPIA WITH LEMON BUTTER, CAPERS AND ORZO

Steps:

• Combine the lemon zest, juice, wine and shallot in a small saucepan over high heat and cook until reduced by half. Remove from the heat and let cool. Whisk together the cream, butter and wine mixture in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes. The lemon butter can be made 1 day in advance and refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
• Heat the grill to high.
• Brush the fish on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until lightly golden brown and slightly charred. Toss the orzo with a few tablespoons of the lemon butter and 2 tablespoons of the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the orzo to a platter. Remove from the grill and immediately place the fillets on the orzo and top each fillet with some of the lemon butter and capers. Garnish with the remaining parsley.

GRILLED FISH KEBOBS WITH PARSLEY AND GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
• Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

GRILLED BUTTERFLIED TROUT WITH LEMON-PARSLEY BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Brush trout on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-side down, until slightly charred and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully turn each fish over and continue cooking until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes longer. Remove from the grill and top each with 2 tablespoons Lemon-Parsley Butter. Garnish with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges and serve.
• Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

GRILLED FISH WITH A LEMON-CAPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Brush your fish basket with oil, or if using a disposable 13X9X2 inch aluminum pan, brush it with 1/2 tsp olive oil. Place the fillets in the basket or pan -- do not overlap the fillets. Brush the fillets with 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle fillets with dillweed, lemon-pepper seasoning, and salt.
• Place the pan on a grill rack; grill, covered, over medium-hot coals about 25 minutes (depends on the thickness of your fish fillets). Cook until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Transfer fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.
• While the fish is on the grill, prepare your sauce. Saute the onion in 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until tender. Remove from heat. Stir in the mayonnaise and next 5 ingredients. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, just until heated. This process takes about 7 to 10 minutes, so start it according to the thickness of your fish.
• Arrange lemon and lime slices around the fillets. Garnish with parsley sprigs, if desired. Spoon the sauce over the fillets and serve.
