Grilled Amberjack

Ingredients:

• 2 amberjack steaks (they are big) or 4 boneless fillets
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Sea salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 Latholemono (lemon and oil sauce) *
• Lemon wedges for garnish

Preparation:

1. Rinse and pat-dry your fish and set aside. Place the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest in a glass dish and mix well. Now add the fish and ensure it’s thoroughly coated with the marinade. Place in the fridge for an hour. Remove from the fridge about 1/2 hour before grilling (or until it returns to room temperature).
2. Pre-heat your gas or charcoal grill with the aim of attaining a medium-high heat. Thoroughly brush the grill surface, with the aim of having a clean grill surface/reducing the chance of fish sticking. When your grill is hot, dab some paper towel in some vegetable oil and wipe/lubricate your grill surface.
3. Season both sides of your fish with sea salt and fresh ground pepper and place on the hot grill. Grill for 7 minutes without touching then flip and grill for another 3 minutes (your fish shouldn’t stick to the grill). In the meantime, whip up a batch of latholemono in a bowl and set aside.
4. Remove your fish and place on a platter with wedges of lemon and spoon over the Latholemono sauce on the fish.
