1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder

The final days of December for African-Americans mean playing games of bid whist and spades, and cultivating joy through seasonal dishes. For Rashad Frazier and his family in Portland, Ore., Kwanzaa is all about the food, Nguzo Saba (the seven principles) and honoring members of their families who have made their lives bright. Mr. Frazier is a personal chef and an avid outdoorsman; this rub is his go-to for highlighting fresh-caught fish, which he is serving for the holiday.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole fish (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each) such as branzino, gutted and scaled (see Notes)
2 teaspoons medium-ground coffee
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground cayenne (see Notes)
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the grill
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill or heat an indoor grill pan to medium-high, ensuring the grates are very clean. Using a sharp knife, score the fish with four diagonal slashes through the skin on both sides.
  • Mix the coffee, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, ancho, cumin, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Pat the fish very dry with paper towels, then drizzle with the oil and rub over the skin. Sprinkle the coffee rub all over the exterior and cavity of the fish and massage the seasoning into nooks and crannies.
  • Oil the grill grates or pan. Place the fish on the hot, greased grates, and cover, if using a gas grill. Grill, turning once, until skin is browned and crisp and the flesh is opaque, 5 to 6 minutes per side. The crisped skin should naturally release from the grate when turning and removing the fish. If it doesn't, let it sit until it does. If it's still stuck, carefully pry the skin off the grate with a spatula. Season to taste with salt, and serve right away with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Fish with firm flesh, such as salmon, tuna, or swordfish, are best for grilling. If using a more delicate fish, such as tilapia or cod, cook it in a foil packet to prevent it from falling apart.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: The fresher the fish, the better it will taste. Look for fish that has bright, clear eyes, red gills, and a firm texture.
  • Don't overcook the fish: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
  • Use a good quality coffee rub: The coffee rub is what gives this recipe its unique flavor. Make sure to use a coffee rub that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Let the fish rest before serving: Allow the fish to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the fish, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Coffee-rubbed grilled fish is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The coffee rub gives the fish a unique and flavorful crust, while the grilling process infuses the fish with a smoky flavor. This recipe is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
