Grilled Sablefish with Garlic-Herb Oil

Ingredients

• 4-6 Sablefish fillets (about 4-6 ounces each)
• Sea salt
• 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large garlic clove, crushed or grated with a Microplane grater
• 1-2 Tablespoons minced fresh herbs (dill, thyme, basil, mint)

Instructions

1. Lay the fillets on a large plate, skin-side down, and sprinkle each fillet with a generous pinch of sea salt. Let the fish rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, put the oil & garlic into a small skillet and GENTLY heat over medium-low heat. When the garlic starts to sizzle a little, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the herbs and a pinch or two of sea salt. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes so the flavors can combine well.
3. Preheat the grill to high heat. Grease the grill grates, if needed.
4. Place the fillets on the grill skin-side UP. Cook, covered, for 3-4 minutes and then flip them over. You’ll want to use a large spatula for this and use swift movements.
5. Continue to cook until the fish seems to be separating and it pulls apart easily with a fork. Don’t over cook it.
6. Transfer the fish to a large platter and drizzle the herb oil over the top. Serve.
