Lean Luxury: Fish from Girl on Grill


This is the ultimate Lean Luxury supper – light, tasty and delicious with the promise of staying brainy, healthy and happy.

My fabulous personal trainer, Tina, gave me a list of things I was allowed to eat in order to help me drop some weight. The top thing she suggested for supper was fish and vegetables. Now the idea of making fish and veggies isn’t that appealing to me – or rather it wasn’t until I set my mind to it, researched some chef recipes and used my outdoor kitchen to grill the fish… now it’s one of my go to favorite Lean Luxury suppers.

Copyright2015LucyLean-02-2The grill is perfect for cooking fish because the house isn’t filled with the smell of a fish shop once you are done – you take it outside. Along side the fish it’s very quick and easy to grill up some vegetables – here I grilled asparagus but any vegetables in season would be good – squash, zucchini, cherry tomatoes or green beans. Use a non-stick grill bowl, it’s super useful for containing the veggies but also allows them to get a nice amount of sear from the hot grill below. Cook for a few minutes, toss in the middle, until lightly charred and tender.

Copyright2015LucyLean-05-2Nathan at McCalls Fish and Meat picked out these grouper fillets – you need a firm fish for the grill. Lightly oil the fillets and season with fleur de sel, black pepper and a little sprinkling of pigment d’Espelette – a trick that Chef Michael Cimarusti shared with me for Made in America and that I go back to again and again.

Copyright2015LucyLean-07Heat the grill on high for about 10 minutes. Once you have prepped the grill by cleaning it and wiping the grates with a little oil, turn the center burner off and the outer burners to low. You are ready to place the fillets on to the center of the grill, skin side down.

Copyright2015LucyLean-08Do not move the fish until it is released from the grill, about 3 minutes. Turn it over and let it cook through – about 5 minutes total and until the internal temperature reaches 145 F – you can see the fish is cooked because it becomes white and flaky. Just be careful not to overcook it – no one likes dried out fish.

Copyright2015LucyLean-07-2First rule of plating – find a pretty plate.  I love these Vintageweave ironware French plates because the food is on a white background with the prettiest border. Plate the fish on to a bed of micro greens, or baby salad leaves  – add the asparagus and then the fillets on top. Drizzle with lots of lemon juice, extra seasoning and serve immediately.

Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks Anxiety levels have been high these last few weeks and just when you think it can’t get any worse it does - Covid levels rising and hospitals dealing with record numbers of very unwell patients, a third lockdown and schools going online and exams cancelled, then there was the runoff in Georgia 💙 overshadowed by the insurrection in D.C. which led to the swift impeachment (again), there’s the excitement of Joe Biden’s inauguration that is being sucked away by the pandemic, the rise of white supremacy with troops guarding the Capitol and ever present fear.  But through it all we have to have hope - for the vaccine, for the teachers helping our kids learn online, for the nurses and doctors working against the odds, for M&S and Ocado deliveries,for a new administration, for arrests of violent rioters, for congress doing its job and for decency to be about to be sworn in.  It’s a lot and we all struggle daily to keep our heads above water.  On a personal level I find painting helps, as do walks in nature and family suppers, I’m wearing pretty dresses, silk underwear and wrapping myself in soft cashmere and yes I’m consuming more champagne than I usually do - if not now then when?  #Lockdown #Stayhome #staysafe #EnglishCountryHouse #EnglishCountryside
