BROWN BUTTER STRIPED BASS WITH LIME AND CILANTRO AIOLI

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
• Make the aioli: In a mixing bowl whisk together the mayo, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. (If serving the fish later in the day, let the aioli chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.)
• Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with salt. Brush a cast-iron pan with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Place the fish, skin-side down, in the pan and place the pan on the direct heat side of the grill. Cook until the skin is crisp and has released from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the fish and add the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter. Move the pan to the indirect heat side of the grill. Let the butter melt and lightly brown, then baste the fish for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and continue basting for another minute. Close the lid of the grill and cook until the fish is cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Remove from the grill and spoon the remaining brown butter in the pan over the fish. Serve with the aioli, cilantro and lime wedges.

• Brush both sides of sea bass fillets with vegetable oil and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Cook on the preheated grill until fish is opaque, shows good grill marks, and springs back when pressed lightly, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer fillets to a serving platter.
• Whisk dressing again; taste and and adjust seasoning. Drizzle dressing over warm fish. Sprinkle fillets with cilantro leaves.

STEAMED COD OR SEA BASS SALAD WITH RED PEPPERS, CILANTRO AND MINT

Remove from the heat and transfer to a colander set in the sink. Allow to cool, then remove any bones and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with half the chopped herbs.
• Place the garlic in a mortar and pestle with a generous pinch of salt and mash to a paste. Add the cumin, work in the olive oil with the pestle and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Toss the fish with the dressing, the red pepper and the olives. Taste and adjust seasoning. Add the remaining cilantro and mint shortly before serving and toss together.
