- Finally, season the fish filets on both sides with salt and pepper.
2 Grill Prep
- Fuel: We recommend Kingsford® Original Charcoal Briquets
- Method: Direct-Heat Grilling
- Temp: 350°F (Medium Heat)
Carefully hold your hand about 5” to 6” above the grate, and refer to the temperature settings below:
• High Heat (450° to 550°F):
2 to 4 seconds
• Medium Heat (350° to 450°F):
5 to 6 seconds
• Low Heat (250° to 350°F):
8 to 10 seconds
Make sure your clothing doesn’t touch the grate, and always move your hand away from the heat before you feel discomfort.
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.

3 The Cook
- When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
- Slightly overlap the lemon slices on the grill grates in a pattern to accommodate the fish filets.
- Place the fish directly on the lemon slices. Brush with the lemon-dill mixture. Cover the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145ºF — don’t turn the fish.
- To assemble, lightly toast and butter the rolls. Spread the tartar sauce on both sides of each roll and place one fish filet into each roll.
- Top with pickle slices, shredded lettuce and tomato. Serve immediately.
