Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. Grilled fish is absolutely delicious. Grilled salmon is great to enjoy during the warm weather or when it's not too cold to grill outside. The combination of lemon, olive oil, and rosemary is so heavenly. Firm-fleshed fish is always the best choice for grilling due to texture and flavor. You can use halibut, catfish, arctic char or trout in this recipe and the meal will still be delicious. I also recommend adding garlic to the lemon juice mixture because garlic always meakes everything taste better.
