Ok- it is slated to be in the 80’s in Seattle this weekend. What the What??!! I mean I know we always boast a late summer, but this is extreme for us. However, I still find myself clinging to the warm weather. Which means also clinging to the grill.

Grilled White Fish with Pickled Radish Salad

And this grilled fish has been one of my favorite dishes all summer, and as long as I can keep grilling (ahem, as long as the rain holds off) I will keep making this.

Grilled White Fish with Pickled Radish Salad

Grilled white fish is pretty much all we ate in Greece this summer once we got to Mykonos. There was one meal that was probably the most memorable of while we were there, and it was on the beaches of an island near Mykonos, across from the sacred island of Delos.

Delos

We went out on an old Greek Fishing boat and then ate lunch at a fishing hut that dated back several hundred years (no electricity, no running water) where they cooked freshly caught squid and white fish.

Delos

Everything was cooked over a grill that was lit with a drift wood fire and sprinkled with sea salt that they harvested themselves from the rocks of the island. I mean- can you believe that?

We got to swim in the gorgeous blue water while the fish was cooking and then we enjoyed what was truly the best food of the trip.

As soon as we got home, I was desperate to start making grilled fish like we had back in Greece. And because I am me, I had to add a little something to it.

Grilled White Fish with Pickled Radish Salad

So I made this beautiful and fresh pickled radish salad which is so easy and such a delicious compliment to the grilled fish. Please try it!

Grilled White Fish with Pickled Radish Salad

Preheat the grill to high. Take the fish out to come to room temperature.

In a small pot, add the sugar and the vinegar and simmer while gently stirring. Cook for 3 minutes until the sugar is dissolved.

Pour the mixture over the sliced radishes and set aside.

Stuff the inside of the fish with the herbs and lemon slices and generously salt the inside of the fish.

Drizzle the outside with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
Place either directly on a well oiled grill, or do what I did and place it in a fish cooker!

Grilled White Fish with Pickled Radish Salad

Cook the fish 5-7 minutes on each side until the skin is browned and the fish is cooked through.

Gently toss the fresh herbs and the pickled radishes together with the olive oil and kosher salt to taste.

Serve the fish whole and hot with the pickled radish salad (you will have to filet them).
