Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
4 x skinless Chilean sea bass fillets, 1" thk (abt 6 oz ea)
Lemon wedges (optional)
----------------- PASTE ----------------
3 tbl extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbl finely-chopped fresh basil

2 tsp dried lavender
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions:
Instructions: To make the Paste: In a small bowl whisk together the paste ingredients.

Spread the paste evenly on both sides of the fish fillets. Grill over Direct High heat until the flesh is opaque throughout and starting to flake, 5 to 7 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time.

Serve warm and garnish with lemon wedges, if desired.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Wine Recommendation: The fish is from New World and the rub is from the Old World. What better choice than an exciting Rhone-style white from California or Australia? Viognier, Marsanne, or Rousanne are the grapes to look for, either as varietal labels or as blends.

Beer Recommendation: Try one of the worlds finest ales from the six Trappist monasteries of Belgium and the Netherlands. The finest "Triple Ales" from the Chimay, Westmalle, Westvleteren, Rochefort, Orval, or Schaapskooi abbeys will enliven the delicate flavors of this dish, bringing out texture and spice.

Comments:
