What’s on the Grill #129

Grilled Grouper & Prosciutto Sandwich!  Fish, it’s not just for dinner…it’s also for lunch.  I ducked into the Dayton Fish Company today and while there decided to pick up some Grouper for lunch.  There is nothing I like better than a grilled fish sandwich.  It’s incredibly easy, fast, and always satisfying. 

To add a little something different, I decided to try some “grilled” prosciutto.  Now I am leaving the “grilled” in parenthesis because the prosciutto was only on the grill for about 3 seconds…on one side.  My goal was to add a little bit of smokey/grill flavor to the prosciutto and in my opinion, I succeeded.  It was nice.

For the grouper, I seasoned both sides with some rub I had sitting around.  I pre-heated the grill for direct medium and oiled the grates with a paper towel soaked in canola oil.  This step is a must so that your fish doesn’t stick to the grates.

I grilled both sides of the grouper for about 3 minutes.  Once the grouper rounded the corner to the finish line, I “grilled” the prosciutto and toasted the buns.  I piled the cooked fish and prosciutto on the buns and topped it with cheddar cheese and a mixture of puree chipotle and mayonnaise.  Served up with a couple pickles, the entire meal took 15 minutes…including eating.  That’s what I call a satisfying Saturday lunch.
