This grilled grouper collar (AKA fish collars or necks) recipe is visually stunning and also delicious.

Ingredients

Ingredient List Fish:

  • 6 large fish collars (or 6 five ounce portions filleted fish)
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • black pepper

Ingredient List Dry Rub:

  • 1 1/2 Tbsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill ~ 400F.  Line a lightly oiled piece of aluminum foil over the grates.  You will cook the fish on this and avoid a messy grill.
  • Lightly oil the fish.  MIx all the dry rub ingredients together and rub into the fish (careful of the bones!). Marinate it for a couple hours before if you have the time.
  • Grill for ~ 5 minutes on each side or until fish is cooked through.  Check next to the bones to see if it's done.
  • Serve with sautéed greens and grilled pineapple.  Add salt to taste.  Happy Eating!  Beckie

Notes
