💡 Chef’s Tips
- Choose fresh and sustainable fish options whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the grill; cook the fish fillets one or two at a time if necessary, to ensure even cooking.
- Let the fish rest for a few minutes after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute, making the fish more tender and flavorful.
