Grilled Fish With Gremolata
Ingredients
1 lemon (for zest, rinsed)
18–20 sprigs fresh Italian parsley (rinsed)
5 fresh garlic cloves
1 cup Italian-style panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
1 teaspoon chipotle hot pepper sauce
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 fish filets, 1 1/2 lb (snapper, orange roughy, or tilapia; thawed, if needed)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
Steps
- Preheat grill. Peel a few strips of lemon peel, without any white pith, with zester (or vegetable peeler). Chop finely for zest (1 tablespoon); place in small bowl. Chop parsley finely (1/2 cup) and mince garlic finely; add both to lemon zest. Stir in bread crumbs, pepper sauce, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil; mix well using fingertips until blended and set aside.
- Always check fish carefully and remove any bones. Lay fish, skin side down, over an inverted bowl; the curve lifts the bones. Use fingertips to feel for bones that may not be visible. Brush both sides of fish evenly with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, then sprinkle with pepper and Greek seasoning. Place fish on grill (wash hands); grill 2–3 minutes on each side or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (or flesh is opaque and separates easily with a fork). Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the fish.
- Transfer fish to a warm plate and top each filet with a generous portion of the herb-crumb mixture. Drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil; serve.
