BUTTER------------------
1/4 c Unsalted butter
-- at room temperature
3 tb Chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tb Fresh lime or lemon juice
1 t Grated lime or lemon zest
1/4 ts Salt
1 pn Freshly ground pepper
-----FOR THE FISH-----
2 lb Red snapper fillets

Combine the butter, cilantro, lemon or lime juice and
zest, salt and pepper in a bowl and beat by hand with
a wooden spoon. Shape into a rough log about 2 inches
long and 1 inch in diameter, wrap in plastic wrap and
chill until firm. Prepare a fire in the grill.
Position the oiled rack 4-6 inches above the fire. Rub
the fish lightly with oil and sprinkle to taste with
salt and pepper. Arrange the fish on the grill. Cook,
turning once, about 10 minutes; the fish is done when
it turns from translucent to opaque throughout. Remove
to a warmed platter or plates. Cut the cilantro butter
into 4 equal slices and top each fillet with a slice.
