Grilled Flatfish With Pistachio Herb Sauce Food

GRILLED FLATFISH WITH PISTACHIO-HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce:
• Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
• Gently mix pistachios, prunes, garlic, parsley, mint, tarragon, kimchi brine, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt. Whisk in oil, then taste and season spoon sauce with more salt if needed.
• Fish and assembly:
• Prepare a grill for medium heat. Using a chef's knife, cleaver, or serrated knife, cut fish crosswise into 2"-4"-wide planks (the larger the fish, the wider the planks); halve planks if fish is large. Pat fish dry, rub all over with oil, and season with salt and Aleppo-style pepper. Grill fish, undisturbed, until about 70 percent cooked through (use a knife to slide into flesh to check), about 5 minutes. The skin should release easily from the grate when the fish is ready to turn. If it's sticking, keep cooking.
• Using a large fish spatula, turn fish over and grill until cooked through (fish is done when a paring knife easily pierces the flesh along the side), about 2 minutes.
• Transfer fish to a platter and spoon sauce over.

PISTACHIO-CRUSTED FISH FILLETS

Dip fillets in egg white, then pistachio mixture., Place fish on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Drizzle with butter. Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
