When ready to grill, place an oiled grill rack over the fire. Lightly baste each side of the fish with the mustard butter and place on the rack. Grill until opaque and just beginning to flake when tested with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning once halfway through the grilling time and basting frequently with the mustard butter.
