Grilled Yellowtail Recipes

by

Place the fish in a large bowl, cover with the garlic mixture, olive oil, and lime juice, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a little black pepper, and let stand for 30 minutes.

Lay the fish directly over the heat and grill for about 2 minutes, or until the grill marks are a rich brown and the fish releases from the grill; flip it over and grill for another 2 minutes; then move it to the cooler side and let it coast slowly to perfect doneness (the fish will flake when pressed firmly with a finger); or light a charcoal fire and let it burn until the charcoal is covered with white ash.

Place each fillet on a dinner plate, top with the Charred Tomato-Nopal Salsa, and top with the chicharron crumbles.

Grilling yellowtail is really quite easy, the trick is no to overcook the fish. Lightly coat the fish in olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper, and over high heat grill for 3 – 4 minutes per side. About one minute before removing yellowtail from the grill put a dollop of maitre’d butter on top.
