Grilled Striped Bass With Mango Salsa Recipes

GRILLED STRIPED BASS

Steps:

• Combine oil, lemon juice, thyme or oregano, garlic, and pepper in a large shallow bowl. Add fish to marinade, and turn to coat; cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator 30 minutes.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Place on grill, skin side down, and season with salt. Grill until skin is lightly browned and starting to crisp. Carefully turn fillets, and cook until well browned and cooked through (center will be opaque), 5 to 6 minutes. Garnish with chives and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve hot or at room temperature.

GRILLED PINEAPPLE MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat; lightly oil the grate.
• Cook the pineapple, red bell pepper, and jalapeno pepper on the preheated grill, turning frequently, until the pineapple has mild grill marks and the peppers are browned on all sides, about 3 minutes for pineapple and 5 to 7 minutes for peppers. Carefully remove from grill and place peppers in paper bag to cool.
• After peppers are cool, rub skins off gently with paper towels, cut in half, and remove and discard seeds. Cut the cooled pineapple and peppers into a small dice and place into a bowl. Add the mango, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and lime zest; stir to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours to 1 day before serving.

GRILLED MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare a medium-hot grill. Cut mango down flat sides of the seed to get 2 large flat pieces. Brush exposed surface lightly with oil and place on grill. Grill for about 6 minutes, until light grill marks appear. Remove from heat. With the tip of a paring nife, cut thin slices down to the skin but not through it, then cut a herringbone pattern across the slices. Push on the skin side so the cut mango pops out, then cut away the dice from the skin. Cut dice smaller if they are larger than 1/2 inch. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients to bowl and toss together. Allow to sit for 15 to 30 minutes so flavors will ripen.

GRILLED STRIPED BASS WITH MANGO SALSA

Steps:

• Start a grill or preheat a broiler. Combine fruit with a sprinkle of salt, chili flakes or cayenne, lime juice and a tablespoon of olive oil. Rub both sides of fish lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Grill or broil fish, skin side down. If grill has a cover, use it, and grill 8 to 12 minutes, or until fish is done. Remove carefully with a large spatula.
• If grill does not have a cover, brush top of fish with oil after 4 or 5 minutes and turn it carefully with a large spatula. Continue to cook, skin side up, until fish is done; remove carefully.
• To broil, put fish in a nonstick broiling pan and adjust the oven rack so top of fillet is no more than 4 inches from the heat source. Broil without turning, until top is nicely browned and fish is done. If fish appears to be browning too quickly, move the rack a couple of inches farther from the heat.
• Brush fish once more with oil; garnish salsa with cilantro, then serve fish and salsa together.

WRAPPED AND GRILLED WHOLE STRIPED BASS WITH SALSA

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a glass or ceramic baking dish. Whisk to combine. Using a sharp knife, score several diagonal lines along the length of the fish, down to spine, on either side. Marinate 1 hour in the refrigerator. After marinating, preheat grill or broiler. Meanwhile, prepare salsa: Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatoes, garlic, chilies and onion on a baking tray. Tuck the garlic underneath the vegetables to avoid blackening.
• Broil, turning frequently, until well charred, 15 minutes. Set aside to cool. Transfer roasted ingredients to a food processor fitted with the metal blade or blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil and add the avocado. Set aside. Blanch greens in a large pot of boiling, salted water, just until the water returns to a boil. Refresh with iced water and drain. On a large baking sheet, arrange greens, overlapping to form 2 rectangles as long as each fish and more than twice as wide. Place each fish in the middle of each rectangle and wrap with greens so that only the head and tail are exposed. The dampness will make them cling.
• Transfer fish to grill, reserving marinade. Cook 7 to 8 minutes per side, until greens, head and tail blacken. It will take 2 spatulas, one at the head and one at the tail, to turn fish. Don't be concerned about greens sticking. To test for doneness, try to pull out a dorsal fin from the top of the fish. If it slides out easily, the fish is done. To serve, place whole fish on a serving platter. Using a dull knife and soup spoon, scrape off any remaining skin and remove fins. Cut along spine first and serve the top fillet. Lift tail, insert knife between bones and flesh, and run it along length. All (or most) bones should easily lift out. Repeat for second fish. Serve with the salsa.

Top each piece of fish with 1/2 cup Jalapeno-Mango Salsa and serve with lime wedges. Accompany with white rice if desired.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Lightly fry the jalapeno chiles, turning them in the pan until their skins are blistered, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool. Once cooled, stem, seed and finely chop the jalapeno chiles and place them into a large mixing bowl. Add the cilantro, mangoes, lime juice and onions and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately or store the salsa in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
