GRILLED WHOLE FISH IN CHILE, GARLIC AND MINT SAUCE
I'm really liking the fish with mint recipes I've encountered so I was jazzed to see this recipe in The Times-Picayune. I have another nice pink snapper in the fridge (catch of the day) & plenty of mint & fish peppers to work with from the garden. The Times-Picayune attribute this recipe to "Mediterranean Hot and Spicy" by Aglaia Kremezi (Broadway Books, $19.95) - full of flavorful fresh dishes from around the Mediterranean Sea. This recipe is from a restaurant in Jaffa, Israel.

Steps:
- Mix chiles, garlic, mint, lemon juice and olive oil. Add a little salt; mix thoroughly; then taste and adjust the seasonings. The sauce should be hot. Let stand at room temperature at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Light a charcoal grill or preheat a broiler. Salt the fish inside and out and place on a well-oiled grill about 5 inches from the heat. Broil or grill, turning once, until firm and almost done, about 15 minutes total. Remove from heat and cover with foil. Let stand 5 minutes.

Pour half the sauce over the fish, sprinkle with some pepper, and place under a very hot broiler for a few seconds before serving, sprinkled with the parsley. Pass the rest of the sauce separately.0.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe apricots. This will ensure that they have the best flavor and texture.
- Use a variety of mint. Spearmint, peppermint, and chocolate mint are all good options. You can also use a combination of mints.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the fish. This will prevent the fish from cooking evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center. Overcooked fish is dry and tough.
- Serve the fish immediately with the apricot and mint sauce. The sauce will help to keep the fish moist and flavorful.

Apricot and mint is a classic flavor combination that works well with fish. This recipe is a great way to enjoy this combination. The fish is cooked until it is just opaque in the center, and the sauce is made with fresh apricots, mint, and white wine. The result is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal.
