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.

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.

Steps:

• Marinate sea bass in a bag with bay leaf, pepper, salt and lemon juice in fridge for 30 minutes or more.
• Spray grill with olive oil.
• Heat grill.
• Saute butter, garlic, savory and parsley in shallow pan, either on grill on on stove.
• Mix cayenne, garlic salt, onion flakes, lemon pepper, and Essence in small dish.
• Coat sea bass on all sides with spice mix.
• Grill sea bass on high heat for 6 minutes, flip, top with butter, grill 6 more minutes, flip and fire grill for another 2 minutes.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to high. Toss the tomatoes with the melted butter, wine, tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Pile the tomatoes in the center of a 24-inch-long piece of foil. Gather the edges and crimp to seal and form a packet.
• Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil. Brush both sides of the fish with vegetable oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Place the fish on one side of the grill, skin-side down. Grill until the fish is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the tomato packet on the other side of the grill, undisturbed, until the tomatoes are softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Carefully open the foil packet. Spoon the tomatoes and their juices over the fish and top with more tarragon.

Steps:

• Combine the tangerine juice, lemon juice, oil, honey, coriander, thyme and garlic in a large plastic storage container. Whisk to combine. Add the sea bass fillets and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover with a lid and marinate in the refrigerator, flipping once halfway through, 30 minutes.
• Preheat an outdoor grill or large cast-iron grill pan to medium heat. While the grill heats up, remove the fish from the marinade and pat fairly dry with paper towels. (There should be a light coating of marinade on the fish but not too much, because excess oil will cause flare-ups on the grill.) Discard the marinade. Season the fish liberally on all sides with salt and pepper.
• Place the fish skin-side down on the hot grill. Cook until the skin is light golden brown and crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook until just cooked through and the center is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• While the fish is cooking, add the tangerines to the grill cut-side down. Grill until the flesh is deeply charred in spots, about 10 minutes. Remove from the grill and cool slightly.
• To serve, transfer the grilled fish to a large platter. Nestle the grilled tangerines around the fish and top with the sprigs of mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Place first 6 ingredients in processor until almost smooth. Add juice and blend well. Season spice mixture with salt pepper. Sprinkle fish with salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over each fillet. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Preheat grill. Remove fish from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 3 minutes on each side.
• Whisk together the ingredients and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place greens in a large bowl and drizzle with some of the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat, divide among 8 plates.
• Arrange grapefruit segments and mangoes atop greens and drizzle with some of the dressing; place 1 fish fillet along each salad. Top fish with avocado.

Steps:

• Prepare the sea bass by snipping off the side and back fins with a strong pair of scissors. With a fish scaler or large, strong knife, scrape off the scales. This is best done by holding the fish by the tail in a sink and scraping downward. It is essential to do this thoroughly. Clean the fish by running a sharp knife up from the base of the belly to the head. Remove the innards and rinse the fish well.
• To cut into fillets, lie the fish on its side and, using a sharp filleting knife, carefully slice along the backbone, from tail to head, keeping close to the bones with the blade so as not to waste any flesh. Then cut downward around the head, which will enable you to remove the fillet. Repeat this on the other side of the fish.
• Place the fillets skin side down and run your hand over them to check for any bones. Pull out any that remain using tweezers. Cut each fillet into 3 equal portions.
• Lightly brush the pieces of fish with oil, season well with salt and pepper, and grill for 3 minutes on each side, or until cooked.
• Serve with lemon.

Steps:

• Preheat grill for high heat.
• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, lemon pepper, and sea salt. Sprinkle seasonings onto the fish.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the garlic and parsley. Remove from heat when the butter has melted, and set aside.
• Lightly oil grill grate. Grill fish for 7 minutes, then turn and drizzle with butter. Continue cooking for 7 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the grill.
• Rub each fish with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the fish on the hot grill and grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, depending on the weight of each fish.
• In a saute pan, heat the remaining olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the onions for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, black olives and fava beans. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, anchovies, fresh herbs and white wine. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes.
• Fold in the butter, a tablespoon at a time. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the sauce in the center of an oblong plate. Lay the fish directly on top of the sauce. Garnish with parsley.

Steps:

• Prepare grill for medium-direct heat.
• Grease the center of a 20 x 18 inch sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil with margarine.
• Arrange 2 slices each of red onion and lemon over the margarine.
• Sprinkle with one tablespoon of almonds and half of the green onions.
• Arrange the fillets in a single layer over the onions, lemon and almonds.
• Top with remaining red and green onions, lemon and almonds.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt, pepper and paprika.
• Fold the long sides of the foil together in locked folds.
• Fold and crimp short ends; seal tightly.
• Place the packet directly on the cooking grate.
• Grill, covered, for 11 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is firm and opaque, and just begins to flake.

Steps:

• Line a grill pan with foil and brush lightly with butter. Brush the fish on both sides with butter and season. Lay on the foil, skin-side up.
• Put the tomatoes and shallot in a pan with the capers, lemon juice and oil, and season.
• Grill the bass for 5-7 mins under a hot grill until just cooked and the skin is starting to brown. Meanwhile, warm the sauce through for 2 mins, then stir in some of the torn basil leaves. Lift the bass onto warmed plates using a fish slice and spoon the sauce around. Serve with steamed new potatoes or small baked potatoes, and add the remaining basil and chives.

Steps:

• Whisk water and mustard in small bowl until smooth. Combine miso, vinegar, mirin, sugar and soy sauce in small saucepan. Stir over medium heat until smooth, about 3 minutes. Whisk in mustard mixture. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Rewarm over low heat before using.)
• Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush fish and green onions with oil. Sprinkle both with salt and pepper. Grill fish until opaque in center, about 4 minutes per side. Grill onions until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fish and onions to 4 plates. Spread sauce atop fish. Sprinkle sesame seeds over sauce and serve.
