Sprinkle generously with Creole seasoning. Wrap and refrigerate for about an hour. Heat a charcoal or propane grill to medium heat -- about 350°F. Put fish on grill, scales side down. Baste with melted butter and arrange lemon slices over the top of the fish as shown in photo below. Cover grill. Baste with butter periodically while the fish is cooking to keep it moist.
