• 2 Tbs chopped, fresh parsley (½ dried)
• salt
• fresh ground, black pepper

Directions

1. Make a battuto by chopping the garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper until everything is reduced to a paste.
2. Mix the olive oil and the juice the lemon together in a small bowl.
3. Brush both sides of the fish with the mixture.
4. Sprinkle the fish evenly, on both sides, with the battuto.
5. Place the fish, on a hot grill (or under a broiler).
6. When the first side is browned, turn over carefully.
7. Brush with the oil-lemon mixture, and cook until both sides are browned and the fish begins to flake.

When making this dish I like to use a grilling basket. It allows me to turn the the steaks, without breaking the fish. I like the ability to adjust the height of the basket. It prevents food slippage. I use mine for grilling eggplant, peppers, sausages, and many other foods.
