| Instructions: |
In a food processor or blender, mix basil, oil, vinegar, cheese, garlic, and pepper until pureed and set aside.
Rinse fish and pat dry. Place fish in a close-fitting bowl or dish. Add 2/3 of the basil marinade; roll fish in marinade to coat. In another bowl, mix remaining basil marinade with cucumber. Cover fish and cucumber and refrigerate for 3 to 6 hours, turning fish several times. Lift fish from marinade and drain briefly (reserve marinade).
Place on a well-greased grill four to eight inches above a solid bed of hot coals. Cook, turning as needed with a wide metal spatula and basting several times with marinade, until fish is browned and firm on outside but still moist and translucent 1/2-inch below the surface; cut to test (about 15 minutes). Using spatula, lift fish from grill and place it on a warm platter. Arrange cucumber mixture along side fish. To serve, cut fish crosswise into 1-inch thick slices. Let guests season fish to taste with salt. Makes 6 servings. |
