Ingredients
-
4 5- to 6-ounce fresh or frozen halibut steaks or fillets, or sea bass or salmon fillets, about 1-inch thick
-
1 cup fresh blueberries
-
1 teaspoon snipped fresh sage
-
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
1 cup garlic croutons, coarsely crushed
-
1/4 cup snipped fresh sage
-
1 teaspoon finely shredded orange peel
-
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
2 tablespoons orange juice
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
Olive oil (optional)
Directions
1
Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry. In a small bowl combine crushed croutons, the 1/4 cup sage, the orange peel, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir in orange juice and 1 tablespoon olive oil until lightly moistened; set aside.
2
For a charcoal grill, grill fish, skin side up if using fillets, on the greased rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals (see photo 2, page 305) for 5 minutes. Turn and top fish evenly with crouton mixture, gently pressing onto fish. Grill for 7 to 10 minutes more or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Place fish on greased grill rack over heat. Cover and grill as above.)
3
To serve, place fish on serving platter. If desired, drizzle fish with additional olive oil. Serve with Blueberry-Pepper Jam.
4
Blueberry-Pepper Jam: In a medium bowl mash 3/4 cup of the blueberries with a potato masher or fork. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup blueberries, the 1 teaspoon sage, and the 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Makes: 4 servings
