  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
  • 2 (3/4 to 1-lb.) fresh or frozen whole fish, cleaned
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

  • 1 tablespoon oil

Steps

  • 1
    GRILL DIRECTIONS: Heat grill. Crumble muffins into small bowl. Add pecans and margarine; mix well.

  • 3
    When ready to grill, place foil on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 6 to 8 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Cook 10 to 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork, turning fish several times.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Purchased corn muffins vary in sweetness, so the flavor of the stuffing will depend on the corn muffins you choose.
  • tip 2
    For the fish, try rainbow trout, walleye or white fish. A grill basket makes grilling whole fish a snap. The basket keeps the fish intact and makes it easier to turn the fish. To keep fish from sticking, spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray before use.
  • tip 3
    If your camp includes someone who likes to fish, this extra-easy recipe is a must! For campsite cooking, begin the stuffing mixture ahead: Crumble the muffins into a small plastic bag or container, then add the pecans. Just before cooking, add the margarine.
