Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 bulbs fennel, fronds separated, bulbs cut through core into 1-inch wedges
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
2 teaspoons whole pink peppercorns (available at penzeys.com)
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup packed fresh flatleaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 whole striped bass or snapper (3 3/4 to 4 pounds), cleaned
2 cups mixed herb sprigs and other aromatic greens, such as mint, celery leaves, oregano, and parsley (optional)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
12 habanero or other colorful chiles, for serving (optional)
Lemon slices, for serving
Grilled Potatoes, for serving
Mixed Herb Sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a mortar and pestle, crush 1/2 cup fennel fronds, black and pink peppercorns, garlic, and parsley to a paste. (Or pulse in a food processor.) Stir in 2 tablespoons oil. Rub mixture over fish, inside and out; stuff fish with more fennel fronds, herb sprigs, and greens. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 30 minutes.
  • Preheat grill to medium. Season fish generously with salt and pepper. Brush a fish-grilling basket with oil; place fish inside and secure. Grill, covered, turning once, until fish is opaque and flakes when tested with the tip of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes.

Grill until fennel and chiles are lightly marked and tender (if they start to burn, shift to a cooler area of grill). Arrange fish on a platter; surround with lemon, potatoes, fennel, and chiles (chiles should be eaten with caution). Drizzle with herb sauce; serve immediately.

GRILLED FLATFISH WITH PISTACHIO-HERB SAUCE



Grilled Flatfish With Pistachio-Herb Sauce image

Flatfish is ideal for grilling if you cut it into wide planks but leave the skin and bones intact. The skin insulates its tender meat during grilling, and the bones help keep the pieces together.

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Sauce:
¼ cup raw pistachios
10 prunes, pits removed, coarsely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely grated
2 cups finely chopped parsley
1 cup finely chopped mint
¼ cup finely chopped tarragon
¼ cup kimchi or sauerkraut brine
2 Tbsp. Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
Kosher salt
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Fish and assembly:
1 (2-4-lb.) flatfish (such as sole, flounder, or turbot)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt
Aleppo-style pepper

Steps:

  • Sauce:
  • Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
  • Gently mix pistachios, prunes, garlic, parsley, mint, tarragon, kimchi brine, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt. Whisk in oil, then taste and season spoon sauce with more salt if needed.
  • Fish and assembly:
  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Using a chef's knife, cleaver, or serrated knife, cut fish crosswise into 2"-4"-wide planks (the larger the fish, the wider the planks); halve planks if fish is large. Pat fish dry, rub all over with oil, and season with salt and Aleppo-style pepper. Grill fish, undisturbed, until about 70 percent cooked through (use a knife to slide into flesh to check), about 5 minutes. The skin should release easily from the grate when the fish is ready to turn. If it's sticking, keep cooking.
  • Using a large fish spatula, turn fish over and grill until cooked through (fish is done when a paring knife easily pierces the flesh along the side), about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer fish to a platter and spoon sauce over.

GREEK HERB RUB FOR FISH



Greek Herb Rub for Fish image

Using this rub will add an outer coating of concentrated herbs and spices to your fish before cooking or grilling. It flavors the outside of the fish, and if left on long enough, it will permeate the outer layers, adding flavor to the inside as well. In general, spice rubs not only add flavor, but also seal in moisture, ensuring a flavorful, juicy entrée. This Greek rub is excellent rubbed on mild, white fish before broiling or grilling, or add it to oil for a dipping sauce.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, main course

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.
