Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
1 clove garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 1 lime, plus lime wedges, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Four 6-ounce striped bass fillets, skin on
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
  • Make the aioli: In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayo, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (If serving the fish later in the day, let the aioli chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.)
  • Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt. Brush a cast-iron pan with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Place the fish, skin-side down, in the pan and place the pan on the direct heat side of the grill. Cook until the skin is crisp and has released from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish and add the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter. Move the pan to the indirect heat side of the grill. Let the butter melt and lightly brown, then baste the fish for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and continue basting for another minute. Close the lid of the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and spoon the remaining brown butter in the pan over the fish. Serve with the aioli, cilantro and lime wedges.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cilantro and lime juice. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use 1/4 cup of dried cilantro, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise. A homemade mayonnaise will give you the best results, but you can also use a store-bought mayonnaise if you're short on time.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can make the aioli by hand. Simply whisk together the mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and cumin until smooth.
  • Taste the aioli and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lime juice, cilantro, or garlic, depending on your personal preference.
  • Serve the aioli immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cilantro lime aioli is a versatile sauce that can be used as a condiment, dip, or spread. It's perfect for grilled chicken, fish, tacos, and burgers. With its bright, citrusy flavor and creamy texture, cilantro lime aioli is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
