Super Summer Grilled Bluefish Recipes

Steps:

• Place the fish fillets into a large bowl. Pour in the orange juice, lime juice, lemon juice, olive oil and white wine. Season with salt, pepper and seafood rub. Stir to blend and coat fish. Leave the squeezed lemon and lime halves in the bowl too. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill for high heat. When the grill is hot, oil the grate.
• Place fish fillets on the grill, and discard the marinade. Cook for 4 minutes on each side, or until fish flakes with a fork. Transfer to a serving platter, and remove the dark blue part of the fish before serving.

Steps:

• Clean and scale fish. Stuff abundant quantities of fresh herbs into the cavity, then add slices of lemon, and chopped garlic. Brush skin on both sides with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and if desired put into fish-grilling basket and clamp shut. Grill for approximately 6 minutes on each side, turning fish only once. Garnish with more fresh herbs and sliced lemon and serve. Roast potatoes and grilled summer vegetables go well with this dish. Tip: Bluefish caught early in the season, though smaller, are much less oily than those caught later in the summer.;

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to hold the four fish fillets, combine the pomegranate molasses, chopped garlic, red onion, crushed coriander seeds, and orange zest. Let marinate for 1/2 hour, refrigerated.
• Season bluefish with salt and pepper. Brush generously with oil. Put fish on hottest part of grill, skin side up. When the first side is charred and releases from the grill, about 5 minutes flip and grill on second side. Cook an additional 5 minutes or until done. Take care not to over char the fish. The marinade has sugar in it so it may burn easily.
• To serve, put a piece of fish in the center of each of 4 plates. Put a spoonful of the potato puree next to the fish and a spoonful of yogurt next to the potatoes. Arrange a quarter of the eggplant slices next to the yogurt. Top the fish with pea tendrils, drizzle with pomegranate molasses and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds. Serve immediately.
• Put potatoes in saucepan and cover with cold salted water by 1-inch and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Drain and return the pan to heat to dry out the potatoes for about 5 minutes. Put through a ricer immediately. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. The flavor of the mixture should be prominent in garlic, salt, and acid. Set aside at room temperature.
• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F. Toss eggplant in a bowl with salt and pepper. Add the extra virgin olive oil and toss again until evenly coated. Grill on each side until slightly charred and the eggplant is tender. Set aside.
• Toss the cucumbers with salt and drain in colander for 30 minutes. Pat dry to remove moisture and excess salt. Mix yogurt with cucumbers and remaining ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large saute pan with 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and the sliced garlic, over medium high heat. As soon as the garlic begins to brown, add the pea tendrils, season with salt and pepper and cook, tossing constantly until the tendrils are slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Steps:

• Slice lemon and lime thinly, and place inside fish. Sprinkle inside of fish with salt and pepper.
• Separate lovage and tie around the body of the fish with string.
• Place on hot grill and cook for 20 to 25 minutes on each side, or until the flesh of the fish is firm. Be careful not to break the fish when turning.

Steps:

• Preheat Grill.
• Lay pieces of Bluefish, skin side down, on UNGREASED aluminum foil.
• Allow enough foil to make a package, sealed at the ends and folded at the top, allowing room for fish to steam.
• Spread mayonnaise over the top of the fish, it should be very thick, if needed add more, the fish should look like a thickly frosted cake.
• Lay onion rings on top of fish in several layers, sprinkle with seasonings.
• Sprinkle with pepper and optional spices, drizzle lemon juice over top.
• Bring together foil and fold to make a seal lengthwise over fish, fold in ends.
• Remember to keep air space on top of fish.
• Place fish on preheated grill, close cover.
• Grill at medium-high heat, about 350-375 for 15 minutes, depending on thickness if fillet.
• After 15 minutes, carefully open package to check for doneness, you want it just barely done.
• Fish is done if it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
• Leaving foil wide open, use a sharp knife or two tined fork to make several holes in the bottom of the foil.
• Without disturbing the fish too much, make a few holes right through the fish and through the foil.
• Close the cover to the grill and allow the juices and mayonnaise to drip through the foil onto the fire, this will get very smokey but you get that delicate smoked flavor.
• After a few minutes of "smoking", remove foil and fish by just sliding if off the grill on to a platter or lifting it, foil and all carefully as not to break it.
• Using a large spatula, gently slide fish off the foil onto a serving plate, the skin of the fish will stay stuck to the foil.
• Enjoy.

Steps:

• The fish should be cleaned and gutted but left whole.
• Mix the olive oil, lemon juice and anchovy paste together and season this mixture generously with pepper. Rub it over the fish, inside and out. Allow the fish to marinate for one hour.
• Light the grill and oil the rack or racks. A basket-style rack can be used for grilling the fish.
• Grill the fish close to very hot coals five to eight minutes on each side. Remove the fish from the grill, arrange on a platter and garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
