Grilled Fish with Mint and Vinegar

Ingredients

For the fish:

  • 2 branzino, cleaned
  • 2 tbsp olive
  • Kosher salt

For the sauce:

  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • ¼ cup finely chopped mint
  • Kosher salt
  • ½ cup olive oil

Directions

  1. Heat a grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure that the grill is clean, and oil generously.
  2. Cut 3 shallow diagonal slits onto each side of the branzino. Rub the outside and cavity with the olive oil and salt to taste.
  3. Place the branzino on the grill and leave it untouched for 5-7 minutes to crisp the skin. Using a fish spatula, flip the fish and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the flesh is opaque.
  4. Alternatively place the fish on a lined baking tray and broil for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the skin crisps and the thickest part of the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
  5. Transfer to a serving platter.
  6. To make the sauce, add the vinegar, garlic, mint, and salt to a bowl. Mix well until the salt has completely dissolved. Then whisk in the olive oil.
  7. Pour the sauce over the fish and serve.
