Brown Butter Striped Bass with Lime and Cilantro Aioli
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Easy
Total: 40 min
Active: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Cilantro-Lime Aioli:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for serving
1 clove garlic, grated
Zest and juice of 1 lime, plus lime wedges, for serving
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Striped Bass:
Four 6-ounce striped bass fillets, skin on
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1 lemon
Directions:
Set up your grill for cooking with direct and indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only.
Make the cilantro-lime aioli: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, cilantro, garlic, lime zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. If serving the fish later, refrigerate the aioli until ready to use.
Pat the fish dry with paper towels, then season with salt. Brush a cast-iron pan with 1/2 tablespoon of the butter. Place the fish skin-side down in the pan over direct heat and cook until the skin is crisp and releases from the pan, 3 to 4 minutes.
Flip the fish and add the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter. Move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill. Let the butter melt and lightly brown, then baste the fish for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and continue basting for 1 more minute.
Close the grill lid and cook until the fish is cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Spoon the remaining brown butter from the pan over the fish and serve with the cilantro-lime aioli, extra cilantro and lime wedges.
