Grilled Fish


Ingredients

    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
    • 1 tablespoon chili powder
    • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) extra-virgin olive oil
    • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, plus sprigs for garnishing
    • 2-pound fillet of striped bass or red snapper, skin intact
    • Lime wedges, for garnishing

                  Directions

                  1. Stir together spices and salt. Mix in olive oil and cilantro. Use a sharp knife to make shallow slashes about 1 1/2 inches apart into the fish skin; transfer to a large dish and rub both sides with spice mixture. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
                  2. Preheat a clean, lightly oiled grill to high heat. Place fish, flesh-side down, on hot grill. Do not move for 3 to 5 minutes, or until fish is opaque. Flip using two spatulas. Cook until fish flakes slightly when pressed, about 5 to 7 minutes more.
                  3. Transfer fish fillet to a plate. Set aside to cool slightly. Place on a serving platter, shred fillet with fork into bite-size pieces, and garnish platter with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Serve immediately, or within 1 hour at room temperature.
