For the Fish

For the Rub
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon ground dill weed
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- ½ tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

Instructions
- Prepare the grill for directing cooking over high heat; about 450˚F.
- Clean the cooking grates with a brush and close the lid.
- Pat dry the fillets with paper towels.
- Lightly grease the fillets with cooking spray and set aside.

- Transfer to a plate and rest for a few minutes before serving.
