GRILLED WHOLE FISH RECIPE | MARTHA STEWART



Grilled Whole Fish Recipe | Martha Stewart image

Cooking small whole fish, as opposed to fillets, optimizes flavor and juiciness, because the skin and a thin layer of (healthy) fat insulate the meat -- and it couldn't be easier. Mild, white-fleshed branzino is almost tailor-made for the technique: It has relatively few bones and they're simple to remove, so the fish is very easy to serve and eat.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes

Total Time 50 minutes

Prep Time 25 minutes

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 whole branzino (each 1 to 1 1/2 pounds), cleaned, heads and tails left intact
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 thin wooden skewers or 6 toothpicks, soaked in water 30 minutes
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1 lemon, half thinly sliced, half cut into 2 wedges
3 sprigs dill, plus more for garnish (optional)
1 lime, half thinly sliced, half cut into 2 wedges
3 sprigs fresh basil, plus more for garnish (optional)
3 Thai or serrano chiles, left intact but split down 1 side

Steps:

  • Preheat grill for direct-heat grilling over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, drizzle cavity of each fish with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then season generously with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
  • Aromatics help keep whole fish moist while grilling. Stuff 1 fish cavity with lemon slices and dill and the other with lime slices, basil, and Thai chiles. If using just 1 filling, double amounts called for.
  • Fasten each opening with a wooden skewer or toothpicks that have been soaked in water so they don't burn. This keeps the aromatics inside and also makes fish easier to handle on the grill.
  • Using a paring knife, make long, 1/4-inch-deep diagonal slashes at 2-inch intervals on both sides of fish so they cook evenly throughout. This also allows any seasonings on skin (see step 5) to penetrate.
  • Rub both sides of each fish with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper, working all into slashes as well as heads and tails -- both are edible, and the tail becomes delightfully crisp when grilled.
  • Brush hot grill with vegetable oil; immediately place fish on grill. Cook, undisturbed and uncovered, until undersides are charred and flesh along gills on undersides turns opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Turn fish with 2 large spatulas. If they stick, wait a few seconds until skin sears enough to release cleanly. Grill on other side until charred and fish are just cooked through and opaque, 5 to 7 minutes more.
  • Serve fish with lemon and lime wedges and more herbs. To serve, cut fillet free from top side of fish and remove with a spatula. Remove bones to free other fillet.

Ask your fishmonger to scale and gut the fish.

Provided by Barton Seaver

Total Time 1 hours 10 minutes

Yield Serves: 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (2 1/2-pound) whole fish, such as red snapper, scaled, gutted, and trimmed
1 large shallot, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon lemon zest
¼ cup fresh lemon juice
1?½ tablespoons salt
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Make 3 to 4 parallel cuts (1 1/2 inches apart) into fish, slicing into the flesh at a 45-degree angle, down to the bone. Combine shallot, garlic, herbs, lemon zest and juice, salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a blender. Process until combined. (Marinade should still have a chunky texture.) Place fish in a shallow dish; pour marinade over fish, turning to coat both sides and pressing into cuts. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, light one side of grill, heating to medium-high heat (350° to 400°) heat; leave other side unlit.
  • Wipe excess marinade from fish; brush fish with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Place fish on well-oiled grates directly over heat; grill 5 to 7 minutes. Carefully turn fish using 2 oiled metal spatulas, and place on unlit side; grill, covered with grill lid, 15 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a knife.
  • How to Spot a Fresh Fish: Look for scales that are firmly attached and glistening with moisture. The eyes should be bright and clear; the gills should be vibrant and show no sign of drying out. Does the fish smell like fish? If so, then it's a no-go. Good, pristine-quality seafood smells only of the sea, violets, and scents of melon and cucumber.
