Easy Grilled Fish Fillet in Foil Packets

This super easy method for grilling fish is pretty foolproof, and you
can use any fresh fish that’s available to you in your area. It’s almost 90 degrees today, which means I’m grilling tonight. In fact I use my outdoor grill just about every night in the summer to make quick, easy, healthy dinners.

Living on the east coast, I love to take full advantage of the fresh caught local fish available to me here on Long Island. Nothing is quite better than eating fish that came out of the ocean the same day! My local fishmonger suggested the Long Island porgy that was caught early that morning – delish! I asked him to fillet it for me, and I kept the skin on, just my personal
preference. Oh, the possibilities are endless when making fish in foil, you can add any fresh herbs you like,
wine, garlic, shallots, whatever you like! I also do this in a 400 degree oven in the Fall and winter months.

When I do this outside on the gas grill, I cook the foil on indirect heat, which basically means I heat up one side of the grill with the cover closed so it gets good and hot, and keep the burners off on the other side. You can also do this with a charcoal grill with a cover, by leaving the coals on one side. The fish goes on the indirect side of the grill so that it cooks from the steam created in the foil. In about 10 minutes, the fish cooked to perfection. My whole family enjoys this, even my three year old.

Calories: 194 • Fat: 8 g • Carb: 3 g • Fiber: 1 g • Protein: 27 g • Sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 61 mg (without salt) • Cholest: 73 mg

Ingredients:

4 porgy fillets, about 5 oz each
4 tsp olive oil
salt and fresh pepper, to taste
4 sprigs fresh herbs (parsley, rosemary, oregano)
1 lemon, sliced thin
4 large pieces heavy duty aluminum foil, about 18 to 20 inches long

Directions:

Place the fish in the center of the foil, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Place a slice of lemon on top of each piece of fish, then a sprig of herbs on each. Fold up the edges so that it’s completely sealed and no steam will escape, creating a loose tent.

Heat half of the grill (on one side) on high heat with the cover closed. When the grill is hot, place the foil packets on the side of the grill with the burners off (indirect heat) and close the grill. Depending on the thickness of your fish, cook 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and cooked through. My porgy fillets took about 12 minutes.

Gordon Ramsay’s Sea Bass with Pepper Sauce

This wonderful looking Sea Bass dish was prepared by Gordon Ramsay on his hit show The F Word^[1]. Read through my estimated ingredients quantities and instructions, then feel free to watch the video at the end to get a clearer idea of how to prepare this delightful meal.

Ingredients:

Filet of Sea Bass
Bell Pepper – 1 large red and 1 large yellow, or several of both
Shallots – 3
Star Anise – 3
White Wine Vinegar – 1 1/2 Tbs
Vermouth – 2 Tbs
Olive Oil
Fresh Thyme Sprig leaves
Salt
Fresh Basil – 1 very large sprig, or two smaller ones
Water

Directions for the Sauce:

Julienne the bell pepper, do the same with the shallots. Heat olive oil in a hot pan, then add the peppers and shallots, add star anise and a pinch of salt. Stir well and cook for several minutes until the peppers are beginning to soften up. Add the basil whole, and pour in the white wine vinegar and vermouth. Reduce for several minutes over moderate heat until liquid is mostly absorbed. Add enough water to the pan to cover the peppers half way. Bring to a boil and simmer until liquid is about half gone. Carefully add all of the ingredients to a blender and liquify. Be sure to hold the lid on the blender. Many of my readers discovered when making another Chef Ramsay dish which required a blender that it’s helpful to hold the lid on with a dry towel (no burns, no messes).

Directions for the Fish:

Lay the fish on a cutting board skin side up. Score the fish every half inch along the length of the filet. Add salt and thyme leaves to the inside of each score, then drizzle with olive oil. You can now lovingly hold and caress the filet in your hands if you’re as crazy as Chef Ramsay about food, if not, you can skip the caressing (see the video if you want to know what I mean, that man loves food!).

Heat olive oil in a hot pan and add the fish, skin side down. Hold the fish down with your fingers for 30 seconds to prevent curling. Ninety percent of the cooking will take place with the skin side down. Watch the fish and turn it when most of the meat has turned a bright white. Finish up cooking and remove from heat.

Serving Instructions:

Pour the sauce onto a plate with a large enough lip to hold the sauce – fill the bottom of the plate. Add cooked Sea Bass, skin side up. Drizzle olive into the sauce circling the fish. DONE.

Brie, Ham, and Spicy Mango Jelly Grilled Cheese Sandwich

by Pam on September 15, 2014

The title may be a mouthful but it’s a delicious mouthful! I was recently sent some bread by Dave’s Killer Bread Company^[1] and I was really excited to make a sandwich with it. They sent me a loaf of two of their new breads the Seeded Honey Wheat ^[2]and 100% Whole Wheat^[3]. Dave’s is my favorite local bread company and the breads are so flavorful, delicious, and healthy. Thanks for the amazing bread Dave we all loved both flavors.

My kids had their sandwich on the Seeded Honey Wheat^[4] and my husband and I had ours on the 100% Whole Wheat^[5]. I made a grilled cheese sandwiches with some deli ham, brie, and spicy mango jelly. I cooked it dry (no butter) in a skillet until the bread was golden brown on both sides and the cheese was melted and gooey. My kids liked it but my son didn’t want as much jelly next time and my daughter said it would be better without ham. My husband and I, on the other hand, both loved it just the way it was. The combination of the salty ham with the rich and creamy brie and the sweet and spicy jelly was perfect on the hearty and delicious bread. I love that the sandwich is so quick and easy to make but tastes gourmet and decadent.

Spread some mayonnaise on one slice of bread; top it with ham then spread some spicy mango jelly on top of the ham. Spread brie on the other slice of bread. Place into a hot skillet (dry) then cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown on each side and the cheese is gooey. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
