This one is a fun and different recipe off of Chef John Besh's website.
Redfish on the Half Shell (serves 6)
Ingredients:
½ bunch parsley leaves, picked
6 sprigs mint, picked
2 sprigs basil, picked
2 cups olive oil
3 each garlic cloves, smashed
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
salt to taste
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 each red fish fillets, skin and scales on
salt/pepper to taste
2 each lemons, cut in half
Preparation:
Preheat an outdoor grill.
Chop the parsley, mint, and basil. Add the herbs, garlic, and chili flakes to the work bowl of a small food processor. Turn on high, and puree. Slowly add the olive oil until all incorporated. Season with salt.
Brush the red fish fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the fish for 3 minutes flesh sides down, making sure to mark the flesh with the grill. Flip the fish so that the scales are now on the grill, and allow the fish to cook approximately 6-8 more minutes or until just cooked through. Squeeze the lemons over the fish making sure to discard the seeds. Remove from the grill.
Spoon the garlic-herb oil over the fish and serve.
