6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp. finely chopped shallots
1 tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp. finely chopped thyme
1 ⁄2 tsp. chili powder
1 ⁄2 tsp. paprika
4 10-12-oz. boneless redfish, snapper,
or sea bass filets, scales left on
1 tbsp. canola oil

Steps:

1. Build a medium-hot charcoal fire or heat a gas grill to medium. 2. Put butter, shallots, cilantro, thyme, chili powder, and paprika into a bowl. Using a hand mixer, whip mixture until fluffy. Brush scales of fish with oil. Flip filets; season flesh with salt and pepper and smear each with 1 tbsp. butter mixture. Top each filet with 3 lemon rounds. 3. Place fish, scale side down, on grill and cover. Cook, basting occasionally with remaining butter mixture, until scales are blackened and fish is cooked through, 12-15 minutes.
