An assertive Stellenbosch Sauvignon Blanc with acidity will stand up to the fish's smoky grilled flavors.
Recipe: Grilled Whole Fish with Curried Yogurt Marinade
- HEALTHY
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain whole milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Four 1 1/4-pound sea bass or pompano, pan-dressed
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the cilantro, lime juice, curry powder, ginger and olive oil.
- Make 3 crosswise slashes on both sides of each fish, cutting down to the bone. Transfer the fish to a large rimmed baking sheet and coat all over with the yogurt marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
- Light a grill. Oil the grate. Remove the fish from the marinade, leaving on a light coating; reserve the marinade. Season the fish with salt and pepper and grill over a medium-hot fire, basting with the marinade, until lightly charred and just cooked through, about 10 minutes per side. Serve right away.
