Recipe : Grilled Red Snapper with Herb Pesto

Marinating and grilling really bring out the flavors of fish, and a concentrated herb
pesto enhances it even more. If you can't find red snapper, try trout, flounder, sole,
or any non-oily fish fillet.

Makes 4 servings

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 fluid ounces ( 1/4 cup) dry white wine
2 rinsed drained anchovy fillets, chopped (or 1 teaspoon anchovy paste)
15 ounces red snapper fillets
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup packed fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

To prepare the marinade, in a gallon-size sealable plastic bag, combine the juice,
wine and anchovies; add the fish. Seal the bag, squeezing out air; turn to coat the
fish. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight, turning the bag occasionally.
Spray the broiler or grill rack with nonstick cooking spray; place 5" from heat.
Preheat the broiler, or prepare the grill according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Meanwhile, in a food processor or blender, combine the basil, parsley, mint, oil,
garlic, salt and pepper; puree until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl.
Broil or grill the fish 10 minutes. Spread the herb mixture evenly over the fish;
cook 2 minutes more, until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork and the
pesto is heated through. Divide evenly among 4 plates and serve at once.
