Recipe developed by Barton Seaver
1. | Combine orange and lemon segments, chile, shallot, and salt to taste in a colander. Let mixture sit while you cook the fish. |
2. | Prepare a charcoal grill, concentrating the hot coals onto one side of the kettle. Season fillets with salt. Place the fish, skin-side down, over the hottest part of the fire, leaving them there until the edges begin to crisp, about 2 minutes. To finish cooking, rotate the grill grate so the fish sits opposite the hot coals. Cover the grill and continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes, until fish is cooked through. |
3. | Transfer the draining citrus mixture into a bowl and gently stir in vinegar and olive oil. |
4. | Use a fish spatula to remove the fish from the grill and place them on a warm plate. Serve the fillets immediately with the marinated citrus salad. |
