Serves: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 fresh bluefish fillets (about 6 oz each, skin-on)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (for grilling)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (for vinaigrette)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and thoroughly clean the grates.
- Pat the bluefish fillets completely dry with a paper towel and brush lightly with canola oil, then season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the fillets skin-side down on the hot grill and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and lightly charred.
- Carefully flip the fillets and grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- While the fish cooks, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl to create the vinaigrette.
- Transfer the grilled bluefish to a serving platter and generously drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over the top while the fish is still warm. Serve immediately.
