CREAMY BARBECUED BLUEFISH

Creamy Barbecued Bluefish image

This recipe comes from a longtime fisherman from the East End of Long Island, the husband of artist Annie Sessler (who makes fish prints). He prepares bass and bluefish with recipes from his days cooking for crewmates on long dragger trips. For these bluefish fillets, you may wonder if all the toppings overwhelm the flavor of this dish. Though hardly Le Bernardin (or the American Heart Association, for that matter), fear not, as the mayo and melted cream cheese offset the oiliness of the fish.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds fillets of bluefish or, if preferred, mackerel
Kosher salt to taste
Ground black pepper to taste
Extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced very thin
1 medium tomato, sliced thin
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 1/2-inch by 3-inch by 1/4-inch slab of cream cheese, broken into small pieces
1 lemon, halved, one half left intact and the other sliced thin
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

Start grill or preheat oven to 450 degrees. Rinse fillets, and pat dry. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Take two large sheets of aluminum foil and curl up the edges, making a tray large enough to hold fish and other ingredients. Rub foil with olive oil.
Spread a third of the onion slices on the foil, followed by a third of the tomato slices. Place fillets over tomato and onion layers. Place remaining onion over fillets, and dot evenly with mayonnaise.
Dot cream cheese pieces over onions. Squeeze juice of intact half lemon over everything. Remove stray lemon pits. Place remaining tomatoes over onions and fish. Salt again. Lay lemon slices over and around fish.
Cover loosely with foil, and place on hot grill or in oven. Cook 12 to 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through. Remove foil tray from grill or oven, and dot fish with butter. Serve with some of the juices.

Tips:

Choose the right fish: Bluefish is a great choice for this recipe, as it is a firm-fleshed fish that can withstand the strong flavors of the gin and onions.
Use fresh ingredients: Fresh gin, onions, and herbs will give your dish the best flavor.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the fish, be sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
Cook the fish until it is just cooked through: Overcooked fish will be dry and tough.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, with a side of mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
