Tips:

  • Choose the right fish steaks: Opt for firm-fleshed fish steaks that can withstand grilling, such as salmon, tuna, swordfish, or halibut.
  • Marinate the fish steaks: Marinating the fish steaks in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and citrus juices helps infuse them with delicious flavors and keep them moist during grilling.
  • Grill the fish steaks over medium-high heat: This will help create a nice sear on the outside while cooking the fish evenly throughout.
  • Flip the fish steaks only once: Avoid flipping the fish steaks multiple times as this can result in them breaking apart or sticking to the grill grates.
  • Use a basting sauce: Basting the fish steaks with a flavorful sauce or marinade during grilling helps keep them moist and adds an extra layer of flavor.
  • Cook the fish steaks until they are opaque throughout: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the fish steaks have reached an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) before removing them from the grill.
  • Let the fish steaks rest before serving: Allow the fish steaks to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the fish, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Cajun grilled fish steaks are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. By following the tips and recipe provided in this article, you can create perfectly grilled fish steaks that are full of flavor and sure to impress your family and friends.
