You won't miss breaded fried fish once you try fish grilled Mediterranean style. This recipe also works well with swordfish, halibut, sea bass or any other whitefish.
Ingredients
(Serves 4)- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 salmon fillets, each 5 ounces
- Cracked black pepper, to taste
- 4 green olives, chopped
- 4 thin slices lemon
Directions
Prepare a hot fire in a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill or broiler. Away from the heat source, lightly coat the grill rack or broiler pan with cooking spray. Position the cooking rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat source.
In a small bowl, combine the basil, parsley, minced garlic and lemon juice. Spray the fish with cooking spray. Sprinkle with black pepper. Top each fillet with equal amounts of the herb-garlic mixture.
Place the fish herb-side down on the grill. Grill over high heat. When the edges turn white, after about 3 to 4 minutes, turn over the fish and place on aluminum foil. Move the fish to a cooler part of the grill or reduce the heat. Grill until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a knife, about 4 minutes longer. A thermometer should read 145 F in the thickest part. Remove the salmon and place on warmed plates. Garnish with green olives and lemon slices.
