Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Atlantic Wolffish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon sliced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary optional

Equipment

  • Grill or grill pan
  • Basting brush
  • Tongs
  • Small bowl for seasoning
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare the fillets: Pat the Atlantic Wolffish fillets dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a better sear.
  3. Season the fillets: Brush both sides of the fillets with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for extra flavor.
  4. Grill the fish: Place the fillets on the grill, skin-side down (if applicable). Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
  5. Serve: Remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon slices on the side.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables, couscous, or a fresh green salad.

Notes

  • Choosing the right Wolffish fillets: If buying fresh Atlantic Wolffish, look for fillets that have firm, translucent flesh. If using frozen, thaw them overnight in the fridge for best results.
  • Grill timing: Adjust the grilling time based on the thickness of your fillets. Thicker fillets may need an extra minute or two on each side.
  • Herb variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs, such as dill or basil, to complement the lemony flavor of the fish.
  • Side ideas: This grilled Atlantic Wolffish pairs wonderfully with steamed asparagus, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh tomato and cucumber salad.
