Grilled Fish With Pimentón Aioli image

Pimentón is made from a red pepper similar to that used to make paprika, but it's smoked before grinding. It can be hot (though not super hot) or mild (which is called "sweet," though the flavor is more bitter than anything else). Whether you know it or not, you've probably eaten it: it's the dominant spice in chorizo. It's also among the best examples of how appealing the addition of smoke can be. Here it goes on both the fish you're going to grill and in the aioli you're going to use to accompany it. The combination is outstanding.

Steps:

I had some trouble finding pimentón, but I was able to find a substitute that worked well.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some more spices.
