GRILLED SEA BASS, CRISP POTATO SKINS & CRAB BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cut the ends from the potatoes and keep. Cut the peel and 1cm flesh from the potatoes, leaving blocky barrels of potato behind. On a shallow baking tray, massage the skins and potato ends with the oil, salt and thyme sprigs. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway through, until tender and starting to crisp. Set aside until later.
• Simmer the salad onion with the vinegar until reduced to 1 tsp or so. Strain the vinegar into the butter (keep the onion), add the crab and some seasoning, and mash well. Chill until needed.
• Heat grill to high - make sure it's really hot before you cook the fish. Slash the skin of each fillet three times and season. Put the potatoes under the grill for 2 mins or until hot and starting to crisp again, then lay the fish fillets on top. (If your grill doesn't go very high, fry your fillets, skin-side down, in a non-stick frying pan to crisp it up before putting them on top of your potatoes.) Pour olive oil over the fish, and grill for 4 mins or until opaque with the skin crisping.
• Dollop ¼ of the crab butter onto each fillet, then grill for 1 min until the butter begins to melt. Using a fish slice, transfer the fish to warmed plates to serve, with the potato skins, a few thyme leaves and a charred onion & tomato salad.

GRILLED BASS WITH BUTTERY TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Toss the tomatoes with the melted butter, wine, tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pile the tomatoes in the center of a 24-inch-long piece of foil. Gather the edges and crimp to seal and form a packet.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Brush both sides of the fish with vegetable oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Place the fish on one side of the grill, skin-side down. Grill until the fish is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the tomato packet on the other side of the grill, undisturbed, until the tomatoes are softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil packet. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices over the fish and top with more tarragon.

HERB BUTTER GRILLED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Mix softened butter, parsley, cilantro, green onion, chili powder, paprika, pepper, lemon juice, and sea salt together.
• Pat fish dry and spray cooking spray onto the bottoms (scales). Generously smear herb butter on fish, then place 4 lemon slices on the top of each fillet. Put in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.
• Preheat a charcoal grill for medium-high heat.
• Grill fish on the preheated grill over indirect heat with the lid closed until it flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 15 minutes.
