Grilled Sea Bass Recipes

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:

• 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.
• For the Lemon Mint Vinaigrette: In a mixing bowl, whip egg yolk and water. Place in a blender, add 1/3 of the vinegar and lemon juice. On high speed, drizzle in approx. 2/3 of the olive oil. 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.
• Rub fillets with Arbol Chili Rub and salt and grill to 130 degrees (medium). Drizzle plate with Lemon Mint Vinaigrette and top with Habanero Salsa (recipe follows). Serve with rice of your choice.
• Soak the habaneros and anchos in hot water to soften. De-seed (use gloves) and remove stems before they are diced. Combine remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Transfer to a storage container and refrigerate.
