Grilled Fish Fajitas Directions

1. If you have a gas grill, fire it up to medium-high heat 15 minutes prior to cooking. If you are using charcoal, allow yourself 30 minutes to have the charcoal get white ashy before cooking on it. Make sure to rake your charcoal down to a single layer in order to eliminate hot spots and cook the fish evenly.
2. The key to this fajita recipe is grilling the green pepper and onion along with your fish fillets. We recommend throwing them on whole about 5 minutes before you put your fish on to allow them a little more time to cook. This will impart a smoky and grilled flavor that is hard to reproduce in a skillet.
3. Brush your favorite fish fillets with oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking on the grill. Then, sprinkle salt and lemon pepper on both sides of the fillets to season. Grill your fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side and take them and the onion and green pepper off at the same time. Don't worry if your onion and green pepper is all the way cooked because you will finish them in the skillet over the stove top.
4. While your fish is cooling, slice your onion and green pepper into strips and throw them into a skillet with a little warmed up oil over medium heat. Let your veggies continues to cook for 3-4 minutes to develop the right texture.
5. Slice your fish fillets into strips and put them on a serving tray along with your other fajita ingredients.
