Serves 2
Whole Grilled Redfish with Salsa Verde from 2014 Chef to Watch Ryan Prewitt of Peche Seafood Grill.
Ingredients
- 1 (2¼- to 2½-pound) whole redfish, cleaned, gilled, and scaled
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Salsa Verde, recipe follows
- Flaked sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare grill to medium heat (300° to 350°), preferably with wood burned down to coals.
- Make 3 evenly spaced deep cuts into each side of fish. Dry fish off thoroughly with a towel and, if possible, let stand in front of a fan for 15 minutes to finish drying. Alternatively, leave the fish standing upright, and refrigerate overnight, uncovered.
- Spread olive oil evenly over fish, and season with salt and pepper. Grill until almost completely cooked through on one side, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn fish, and cook until flesh turns white and collar meat is soft, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- On a serving platter, spread half of Salsa Verde. Place fish on top, and top with remaining Salsa Verde. Garnish with sea salt, if desired.
