    Toss the fish fillets and lemon slices in the olive oil. The oiled slices of lemon keep the fish moist and also give a great tang to the cooked fish.

    Depending on how many fillets you are cooking, arrange in the basket but do not crowd - leave some space all around each fillet so they will cook evenly.

  4. 4
    Shingle 3 lemon slices on the bottom of the greased grill rack, allowing enough length to protect the fillet.

    Continue to cook for another 5 to 8 minutes, and then check for doneness.

  12. 12
    To check for doneness, unhinge the grill basket, and with a fork see if the fish flakes easily and has cooked through it's thickest part. If all is opaque, the fish is done, but allow a few minutes of standing time for the fish to fully complete cooking. The time to cook the fish may be as much as twenty minutes - this is a fairly low heat method, but the fillets will be juicy and not dry.
