Grilled Fish Collars
Description
This recipe uses collars from large fish such as striped bass, yellowtail, salmon, or snapper. The collars are coated in a marinade made with olive oil, salt, black or lemon pepper, mixed dried herbs like thyme, oregano, and mint or basil, and thinly sliced garlic cloves. After marinating in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight, the collars are grilled over high heat with the skin side up to develop a slight char, about five minutes per side. The fish is cooked until it flakes easily, maintaining moisture near the bone. Serving with lemon or lime wedges adds freshness and acidity. This technique accentuates the rich flavor and tender texture of this often overlooked fish portion and is ideally enjoyed hot off the grill. The recipe provides a straightforward way to prepare this distinctive cut while preserving its unique character.
Ingredients
- 4 fish collars such as striped bass, yellowtail, salmon or snapper, from large fish
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper or lemon pepper, ground
- 2 tablespoons mixed dried herbs thyme, oregano, mint, such as basil
- 1 garlic sliced thin, to 4 cloves
- lemon or lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
- Put the collars in heavy duty freezer bags and add all the remaining ingredients save the lemon wedges. Seal the bags and shake them around to coat the collars well. Marinate in the fridge at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Get your grill nice and hot and clean the grates. Arrange the collars skin side up in one layer so they don't touch. Grill over high heat with the grill cover open until charred a little, about 5 minutes or so. Turn and do the same to the other side. If the meat's not cooked through (it will start to flake), give it a little more time.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges and a bowl to toss the various bits of bone and fin.
