Recipe by Elizabeth Karmel
We found that fish cooks best on a nonstick grill pan with a dome-shaped lid, so the fish steams while it gets great grill marks. Serve with a tossed green salad and couscous.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
- To prepare sauce, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.
- To prepare fish, heat a nonstick grill pan over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle fish evenly with salt and pepper; add fish to pan. Cover and grill 4 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Serve with sauce.
