Method

Prepare the Basil Aioli

    Season and Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Rub the redfish fillets with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
