Mediterranean Grilled Fish Recipes

by

I used striped bass because it was the freshest option available at the market, but this grilled fish recipe will be delicious with any whole fish you like. Summer heirloom tomatoes and fennel braised in white wine make the most delectable sauce for the delicate grilled fish.

  2. Heat grill to medium heat.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the garlic, basil, parsley and lemon juice.
  4. Spray the foil or grill pan with cooking spray. Be careful not to spray directly on your heat source, or you’ll get a flare up.
  5. Place each fillet on the grill and spray the fillets with cooking spray.
  6. Top each piece of fish with equal amounts of the garlic mixture. Sprinkle with black pepper to your liking.
  7. Grill over medium heat turning once until the fish is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Per inch of fish, the general rule is to allow 8-10 minutes of grill time, so if your fish is two inches in thickness, grill each side for about six to eight minutes. If searing is not on your grilling game plan, simply place the fish skin side down directly on the grate.
