Tropical Grilled Red Snapper Filets
using Caribbean Sea Salt Blend,Tequila Lime Vinegar, and Lemon Infused Olive Oil

Recipe courtesy Sandie Jarrett

Makes 4 - 6 servings

Preparing The Fish Filets

4 - 6 Fresh Red Snapper Filets (leave skin on 1 side only)
Caribbean Sea Salt Blend
1 - 2 Limes, each cut into 8 wedges
Lemon Infused Olive Oil
Tequila Lime Vinegar
Fresh Tomato Salsa (recipe below)

Pat the filets dry with paper towels. Place on a baking sheet lined with plastic wrap.

Drizzle each filet with the juice of one lime wedge, about 1 teaspoon of Tequila Lime Vinegar, and about 1 teaspoon Lemon Infused Olive Oil. Season filets with a light sprinkling of Caribbean Sea Salt Spice. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to grill.

Heat grill or grill pan until very hot - about 350°F. Carefully mist with non-stick grill spray. Watch out for flare-ups on BBQ grills. Gently place the filets, skin side down, on the hot grill. Cover and grill until the filets for 4 - 6 minutes. Carefully turn over and continue to grill for 4 - 6 minutes or until cooked through. Do not over cook. Thin filets take less time to cook while thick ones take more time.

Adjust seasonings to taste. Squeeze each filet with a lime wedge and drizzle with a bit of lemon infused olive oil. Top with a dollop of fresh Tomato Salsa and serve.

Preparing the Tomato Salsa

2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red onion, chopped
1/3 cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon thinly sliced green onion
Fresh hot chili pepper, seeded and minced
Tequila Lime Vinegar
Caribbean Sea Salt Sea

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator until chilled. Taste, and if necessary, adjust seasonings before serving.

Served chilled over hot grilled fish.

If your skin is sensitive, use disposable gloves when handling hot peppers and chilies. You can make the salsa as hot or as mild as you like by altering the type of chili and the amount.

For a delicious fruit salsa, substitute fresh mango for the tomato in the recipe above.

Serve with an aromatic rice, such as Basmati.
