GRILLED CHILEAN SEA BASS

Steps:

• For the Arbol Chili Rub: In a dry sauce pot, heat and stir coriander, lemon pepper, arbol chili, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and achiote paste until it just starts to smoke and flavors are released. Transfer to a blender or food processor and grind until it is powder. Remainder may be stored in an airtight container.
• For the Lemon Mint Vinaigrette: In a mixing bowl, whip egg yolk and water. Place in a blender, add 1/3 of the vinegar and lemon juice. On high speed, drizzle in approx. 2/3 of the olive oil. Add remainder of the vinegar and lemon juice and drizzle in the rest of the olive oil, add mint, onions, lemon pepper, and chives. Refrigerate immediately.
• Rub fillets with Arbol Chili Rub and salt and grill to 130 degrees (medium). Drizzle plate with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette and top with Habanero Salsa (recipe follows). Serve with rice of your choice.
• Soak the habaneros and anchos in hot water to soften. De-seed (use gloves) and remove stems before they are diced. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate.

GRILLED SEA BASS

Steps:

• Whisk Teriyaki, honey and olive oil together until combined. Place fish in zip lock bag. Add the marinade and marinate, refrigerated for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours which makes the flavoring wonderful. Remove fish from fridge, keeping bag sealed about 15 to 20 minutes before grilling. Heat grill to medium low. Spray or coat grill grates generously with olive oil to prevent fish from sticking. Spraying the spatula with olive oil also helps prevent the fish from falling apart when turning. Grill fish about 6 minutes per inch of thickness, turning once until a table knife inserts across the grain without resistance. Fish should be oily and opaque. I turn up the heat a bit near the end to caramelize some of the residual marinade. Serve immediately. Alternative preparation: vacuum seal the fish and marinade (or seal in the ziplock bag using the water method of excluding air from the ziplock bag. Marinate for time as above. Sous vide at 114.8 degrees F until it reaches an internal temperature of 113 (about 35 min. for ¾ inch thick pieces). Can be held at 113 for about 15 minutes (I haven't tried more). Sear/carmelize briefly with blow torch (use MAPP gas one for higher heat) or sear to caramelize in a lightly oiled hot pan (use canola oil). Serve immediately on warm plate (at 113 degrees, fish is wonderfully textured, but not very warm, so serve right as it is ready to be eaten). Enjoy!
