Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 23m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large oranges
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 scallions, finely sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed, drained and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or canola oil, for oiling the grill
4 (4 to 5-ounce) center cut salmon fillets, skinned, each about 3-inches square
2 tablespoons amber agave nectar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the salsa: Peel and trim the ends from each orange. Using a paring knife, cut along the membrane on both sides of each segment. Free the segments and add them to a medium bowl. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, scallions, mint, capers, orange zest, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes. Toss lightly and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
  • For the salmon: Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Brush the grilling rack with vegetable oil to keep the salmon from sticking. Brush the salmon on both sides with the agave nectar and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the salmon to a platter and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Spoon the salsa verde on top of the salmon or serve on the side as an accompaniment.

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole turbot (about 3 lb. each), heads and fins removed, split in half along the backbone
1 1/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
8 sprigs rosemary, divided
1 1/2 cups finely chopped parsley
1/2 cup finely chopped celery leaves
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp. Aleppo-style or other mild red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Aioli or store-bought mayonnaise (for serving)

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium-low indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill). Tear off 4 large sheets of foil. Rub fish with 1/2 cup oil (2 Tbsp. per piece) and season with salt. Working one at a time, place a fillet in the center of a sheet of foil and top with 2 rosemary sprigs. Fold in short sides of foil over fish, then fold in long sides and roll edges together to seal.
  • Place pouches on cool side of grill, cover grill, and cook fish, turning once, 20-25 minutes. Open a pouch to check fish. Flesh should be slightly opaque and the tip of a knife should slide through easily. Grill a little longer if needed.
  • Meanwhile, combine parsley, celery leaves, and garlic in a medium bowl. Finely zest lemon into bowl, then squeeze in juice. Add red pepper flakes and mix in remaining 3/4 cup oil; season with salt and black pepper. Let salsa verde sit 10 minutes for flavors to come together.
  • Transfer fish to a platter and serve with salsa verde and aioli.

FISH WITH GRILLED SALSA VERDE



Fish With Grilled Salsa Verde image

Provided by Pete Wells

Categories     easy

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds filleted mackerel, bluefish or other oily fish, cut into 4 pieces
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
Salt
1 pound tomatillos, husked
1 jalapeño
1 small or ½ large red onion, sliced ½-inch thick
½ to ¾ cup chopped cilantro
Canola or olive oil, for the grill

Steps:

  • Light a grill. (If you are lighting charcoal, use plenty of it.) Season the fish with the cayenne, salt it liberally and return it to the refrigerator. When the grill is hot, cook the tomatillos, jalapeño and onion slices, taking them off the heat when they are soft and charred. Remove the skin and seeds from the jalapeño and roughly purée it with the tomatillos in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a serving bowl. Chop the onion slices and stir them into the salsa verde with the cilantro. Season well with salt.
  • When the fire has burned down to a medium heat (if you are using gas, simply turn down the flame), oil the fish and the grate. Grill the fish flesh side down first, turning once, until cooked through. The time will vary depending on the kind of fish and the heat of the fire but should not take more than 10 minutes. Thin the salsa with ¼ cup water until the consistency is more like Thanksgiving gravy than applesauce, and pass the bowl of salsa at the table.

GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH SALSA VERDE



Grilled Swordfish with Salsa Verde image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Grated zest of 3 lemons, plus 2 halved lemons
10 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cups olive oil, plus more for the grill
1/4 cup fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon Ottoman spice or Aleppo pepper
8 1-inch-thick swordfish fillets (8 to 10 ounces each)
1/2 small red onion, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 small jalapeno pepper
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
Juice of 1/2 lime
Kosher salt
2 avocados, pitted and quartered (skin on)
1 bunch watercress, trimmed
Flaky sea salt

Steps:

  • Combine the lemon zest, garlic, 1 cup olive oil, the thyme and Ottoman spice in a bowl; mix well. Divide the marinade between two 1-gallon zip-top bags, then divide the swordfish between the bags. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Preheat a grill to high and oil the grates. Grill the red onion and jalapeno until marked, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the red onion to a bowl, top with the vinegar and cover with plastic wrap, trapping the steam inside to finish the cooking process. Peel, seed and chop the jalapeno.
  • Make the salsa verde: Combine the jalapeno, parsley, cilantro, mint, lime juice and remaining 1 cup olive oil in a bowl. Once cool enough to touch, remove the onion from the vinegar and coarsely chop, then add both the vinegar and the onion to the salsa verde; season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and combine well.
  • Remove the swordfish from the marinade, shake off the excess and season with kosher salt. Reduce the grill heat to medium. Grill the swordfish 2 minutes, then rotate 90 degrees and grill 2 more minutes to create crosshatch grill marks, then flip and grill until just opaque, about 2 more minutes. Increase the grill heat to high. Grill the halved lemons and the avocados cut-side down until marked, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dress the watercress with some of the salsa verde on a platter. Top with the swordfish, avocado and more salsa. Garnish with the grilled lemons. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt.

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE



Grilled Fish With Salsa Verde image

This parsley sauce, made with capers and garlic, is a perfect complement to mild-tasting cod. You could use other fish, or try the sauce on grilled meat, chicken or vegetables. No grill? Broil the fish instead: Put it on a sheet pan, position the oven rack about 4 inches or so below the broiler and heat it to high. Cook the fish for just a few minutes; there's no need to flip it, and it will cook fast.

1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), halved, green shoots removed
Salt to taste
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed (optional)

3/4 cup (tightly packed) flat-leaf parsley leaves (25 grams)
2 pounds cod
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: Firm-fleshed fish like salmon, swordfish, or tuna are best for grilling. They can withstand the high heat without falling apart.
  • Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices will help keep it moist and flavorful during grilling.
  • Preheat the grill: A hot grill is essential for getting a good sear on the fish. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before adding the fish.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling fish, it's important to leave some space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the fish carefully: Fish cooks quickly, so it's important to keep an eye on it to prevent it from overcooking. The best way to tell if the fish is done is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If the fish flakes easily, it's done.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Grilled fish is best served immediately after it's cooked. You can garnish it with fresh herbs, lemon wedges, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

Grilled fish is a healthy and delicious summertime meal. By following these tips, you can grill fish perfectly every time. So fire up your grill and enjoy a delicious grilled fish dinner tonight!
