Provided by Cory Bahr

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced green tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup yuzu juice
1/8 cup rice vinegar
3 shallots, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 lemons, halved
Four 1 1/2-pound whole fish, such as bronzino or snapper, gutted and scaled
Zest of 2 lemons
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Sliced radishes, for serving
Fried slivered shallots, for serving

Steps:

  • For the green tomato and herb vinaigrette: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, green tomatoes, mint, parsley, tarragon, yuzu juice, rice vinegar, shallots and garlic. Mix well. Set aside.
  • For the charred lemons: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Set the lemon halves cut-side down on the grill. Cook, undisturbed, until charred, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • For the grilled fish: Rub the fish with the lemon zest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crispy and charred and the flesh is flaky and opaque, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to dinner plates. Serve each with a charred lemon half and a small bowl of vinaigrette on the side.

GRILLED WHOLE FISH



Grilled Whole Fish image

Cooking small whole fish, as opposed to fillets, optimizes flavor and juiciness, because the skin and a thin layer of (healthy) fat insulate the meat -- and it couldn't be easier. Mild, white-fleshed branzino is almost tailor-made for the technique: It has relatively few bones and they're simple to remove, so the fish is very easy to serve and eat.

Time 50m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole branzino (each 1 to 1 1/2 pounds), cleaned, heads and tails left intact
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 thin wooden skewers or 6 toothpicks, soaked in water 30 minutes
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 lemon, half thinly sliced, half cut into 2 wedges
3 sprigs dill, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 lime, half thinly sliced, half cut into 2 wedges
3 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for garnish (optional)
3 Thai or serrano chiles, left intact but split down 1 side

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
  • Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
  • Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
  • Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
  • Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 whole black sea bass or snapper (2 pounds each), gutted and scaled
10 ripe Campari or 5 plum tomatoes, diced (about 2 cups)
1 red onion, diced
2 scallions, chopped
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to 400˚ F to 450˚ F: For a gas grill, preheat to high; for charcoal, heat enough coals for medium-high heat, layering the coals at least halfway to the cooking grate. Trim the top and side fins of the fish using kitchen scissors. Score the skin on both sides with 3 or 4 long diagonal slits. Pat dry with paper towels and bring to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the salsa: Stir together the tomatoes, red onion, scallions, fish sauce and soy sauce in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup in a separate bowl.
  • Season the cavity of each fish with salt and pepper, then evenly stuff with the reserved 1/2 cup salsa. Use a metal skewer to pin the cavity shut. Brush the outside of the fish with the olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the fish, turning once, until cooked through and the skin is slightly charred, 12 to 15 minutes per side. If the skin sticks a bit, carefully loosen with a metal spatula.
  • Transfer the fish to a platter and let rest 10 minutes. Stir the lime juice into the remaining salsa. Spoon some of the salsa over the fish; serve the rest on the side.
