Cedar grilled sea bass - serves 4
1 cedar plank - fish sized
1 sea bass - scaled and cleaned
kosher salt
olive oil
4 large basil leaves
thinly sliced tomato
thinly sliced red onion
thinly sliced lemon
kitchen twine
squirt bottle filled with water
Soak planks in salt water 5 hr. Heat grill to HIGH. Rinse fish, pat dry. Sprinkle inside with olive oil, kosher salt. Line inside of the fish with basil leaves, then layer the sliced tomato, onion, lemon. Salt outside of fish, tie it up with twine - roast style. Lay it on plank. Lay plank/fish on grill and lower cover. You are going to want to check every couple of minutes JUST in case the plank isn't completely soaked - coals and smoke are GOOD, a flaming plank is BAD. That's where the squirt bottle comes in. You might squirt bottom part of plank a couple times in either case to make it smoke up a bit. The smoke adds a TON of great flavor. When plank is blackened and fish is toasty brown on the "up" side, you're done! Cut twine and serve.
