Grilled Fish With Brazilian Garlic Marinade Recipes

GRILLED FISH WITH BRAZILIAN GARLIC MARINADE

Steps:

• 1. Rinse the tuna steaks under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Place in a nonreactive baking dish just large enough to hold them flat in a single layer and set aside while you prepare the marinade.2. Combine the garlic, onion, bell pepper, oil, wine, ketchup, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a blender and process to a smooth purée. Add the cilantro and pulse just to mix. Pour the mixture over the fish in the baking dish, turning the steaks to coat. Cover and let marinate, in the refrigerator, for 1 hour.3. Preheat the grill to high.4. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade and arrange, facing in the same direction, on the hot grate. If using tuna, grill until cooked to taste, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning over carefully with a long spatula (see Note). For an attractive crosshatch of grill marks, rotate the steaks 90 degrees after the first 2 minutes on each side.5. Transfer the steaks to serving plates or a platter and serve immediately.Serves 4Note: If using swordfish or salmon, cook the steaks until opaque in the center when pierced with a knife, 4 to 6 minutes per side.

GRILLED FISH WITH SALSA VERDE

Steps:

• To make the salsa verde, combine the garlic, anchovy fillet, salt and capers in a mini food processor and pulse to a paste. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender and combine the ingredients in a jar and blend to a paste.) Add the olive oil and parsley and blend to a purée. Season to taste with salt and pepper. If using within a few hours, allow to sit at room temperature. Otherwise, refrigerate. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
• Prepare a hot grill. When the grill is ready, season the fish with salt and pepper on both sides and brush generously on both sides with olive oil. Grill for about 3 minutes on each side, just until you can pull the flesh apart with a fork. Remove from the heat and serve with the salsa verde.
