RECIPE: Fresh Fish with Aioli

Courtesy of Sarasota Yacht Club Executive Chef Anthony Puccio

For the fish:

Fresh fish—whole or filets, such as grouper, snapper, pompano or snook

Fresh lemon or lime

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Heat your skillet or grill. Squeeze lemon or lime juice directly on your fish, then brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place fish gently on skillet and turn every 2-3 minutes until desired doneness is achieved. Serve with aioli (recipe follows) and grilled asparagus.

For the aioli:

¼ cup mayonnaise

Pinch of salt and pepper

1 garlic clove, crushed, or ¼ tsp. granulated garlic

2 Tbsp. olive oil

Juice of ¼ lemon or lime

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl and serve with grilled fish.

Wine pairing: Puccio suggests a pinot grigio from Oregon, a sauvignon blanc from New Zealand, or whatever crisp white wine like you best.
