Grilled Yellowtail With Mango Salsa Recipes

MAX HOLTZMAN'S GRILLED MANGO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Lightly coat the mango slices and onion discs in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place mango slices on a medium high grill approximately 2 minutes on each side. Grill onions approximately 2 to 4 minutes on each side, being careful to turn only once (this will help keep them together and avoid pieces falling through the grill). When mangos have nice grill marks after a couple minutes on each side, remove from grill. Once onions have slightly charred, but still retain moderate firmness, remove from grill.
• Chop the mango and onion and place in large mixing bowl. Combine all of the above ingredients including juice of lime and orange and add salt and pepper to taste. In the mixing process a large amount of juice will gather at the bottom of the bowl. I recommend draining the juice, and placing the salsa in a refrigerator, covered for approximately 20 minutes. Then, use the salsa on top of grilled fish or serve as a side dish.

FLORIDA KEYS LOBSTER AND YELLOWTAIL SNAPPER BARBECUE WITH FRESH MOJO, MANGO SALSA, AND GARLIC WHIPPED BONIATO

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
• Season the lobsters with salt and pepper. Place both the lobsters and the marinated yellowtail snapper on the grill. Grill over medium heat until the lobsters are white and begin to separate from the shell and the snapper is opaque and no longer mushy (should be soft and slightly firm to the touch).
• After removing from the grill, divide each yellowtail snapper into 2 servings. Place 1 whole lobster and half a yellowtail snapper on each plate. Top the lobster with the Mango Salsa. Serve with grilled vegetables of your choice and Garlic Whipped Boniato.
• In a non-reactive dish, combine all ingredients and mix well. Marinate the scored yellowtail snappers in the Fresh Mojo in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
• In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Serve over grilled lobsters. Yield: 15 servings
• Bring a large pot of water to the boil and then salt the water.
• Use a paring knife to peel the boniato. Boil until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and then transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer. Add remaining ingredients to mixer and then mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and boniato is mashed.

GRILLED SALMON WITH MANGO SALSA RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all the mango salsa ingredients in a medium-size bowl, tossing well to mix. Taste, and then add additional salt as needed. Store in the fridge while you prepare the salmon.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or a grill pan to medium-high. Oil the grill grates or grill pan liberally.
• Combine the garlic powder, cumin, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Rub the mixture liberally over the salmon fillets.
• Grill the salmon filets over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side (thicker filets might need a minute or two longer), or until the fish is flaky and opaque.
• Serve immediately, topped with the salsa and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

HOW TO GRILL YELLOWTAIL

Steps:

• Place the herbs, garlic, shallots, red pepper, and juice in a blender. While it's fine to use the stems of the cilantro, you should only use the leaves of the parsley and oregano. Avoid using dried herbs in this marinade since the flavor won't be as intense.
• Blend the olive oil into the marinade. Put the lid on the blender and pulse it until the mixture becomes thick and smooth. Slowly pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of olive oil while the blender is running. The marinade should be thin enough to pour once the oil is incorporated.
• Cover and marinate the yellowtail for at least 30 minutes. Place the yellowtail fillets in a shallow container. Pour the marinade over the fish and put the dish in the refrigerator. Chill the yellowtail for 30 to 45 minutes. Avoid marinating the fish in a metallic container or it could flavor the fish.
• Heat a gas or charcoal grill to high. Turn on a gas grill to high or light a chimney full of charcoal briquettes, if you're using a charcoal grill. When the briquettes are hot and ashy, dump them in on one side of the grill grate.
• Lay the marinated yellowtail on the grill and sprinkle it with salt. Remove the yellowtail from the refrigerator and lay the fillets on the preheated grill. Leave at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between the fillets. If you're using a charcoal grill, arrange them directly over the briquettes. Sprinkle a little sea salt over each fillet.
• Grill the yellowtail for 2 to 3 minutes. Cover the grill and cook the yellowtail on 1 side.
• Flip and grill the yellowtail for 2 to 3 more minutes. Use a fish spatula or tongs to flip each fillet over. Put the lid back on the grill and cook the fillets for another 2 to 3 minutes. You should see grill marks on each side of the fillets.
• Move the fillets to indirect heat, if you're using a charcoal grill. Remove the lid and transfer the fillets to the cool side of the grill.
• Cover the grill and cook the yellowtail for 4 to 7 more minutes. Grill the yellowtail until the fish flakes easily when you drag a fork across it.
• Serve the grilled yellowtail. Transfer the fillets to a platter and serve the fish immediately. Consider serving the fish with risotto, rice pilaf, or grilled vegetables. Store the leftover yellowtail in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
