Grilled Steelhead topped w/Mango Horseradish
I blended two superb recipes: "Horseradish Crusted Steelhead" I had at McCormick & Schmick's - Seattle, WA; and "Mango Chutney Salmon" at Jake's Famous Crawfish - Portland, OR.
A fillet of Salmon or Steelhead works equally well although the Steelhead is a bit milder if you're not a salmon lover.
1. Prepare fillet. As with ALL SEAFOOD, wash fillet in cold water and pat dry with paper towel, then splash with white wine and/or lemon juice (I prefer lime), and sprinkle granulated garlic on it. (Garlic powder is too powdery and garlic salt has too much salt in it which removes too much moisture.) Let set about a half hour - the garlic and wine/citrus removes excess 'fishy flavor'. If you like you can also add Thyme - the 'seafood herb' - but in this case the topping is going to overpower it.
2. Prepare topping. Saute finely chopped onions & mushrooms in butter and spread across fillet (just a medium amount, don't go overboard). Purchase "Major Grey's Mango Chutney" and strong horseradish like "Tulelake Horseradish" (course - not cream style), and mix well 50/50 ratio (I'm guessing about 2 tbl each - enough to coat the fillet like about 1/4" deep).
3. You can use a gas grill but IMO there's no flavor compared to briquettes. I like to add some mesquite chips. Cook indirect method with only a few coals directly under the fillet. Cook until Steelhead flakes with a fork - about 15-20 minutes depending on your grill.
A full length fillet should provide 4 3" wide servings (slice crossways).
This is fairly easy, will impress friends with your gourmet skill, and people rave about the blending of the sweet hot topping with the slightly smoky Steelhead (or Salmon). Although I've never had any trouble finding Mango Chutney, I'm tempted to try it with Peach Preserves someday.
Serve with chilled Chardonnay (oakier the better), salad and my famous "Rosemary Red" potatoes.

Grilled whitefish with Cilantro
Another blend of recipes starting with "Grilled Tile Fish w/Lime & Cilantro" from City Grill, Atlanta, GA; and my old buddy Ray. I don't know what 'Tile Fish' is and I just read it is super high in mercury, so I use thick Cod. Any whitefish will do, but about 1/2" thick is nice. This is a great summer recipe because of its fresh taste.
1. Prepare seafood as usual (rinse, pat dry, garlic, wine, lime).
2. Chop equal amounts of tomato, onion & cilantro.
Since onions give me indigestion, I use a trick from a Chef I know. I only buy sweet onions - Walla Walla's are only in season for a few weeks so Vidalias, Mayans, etc. work fine. Saute in butter until they just start to brown. This 'carmalizes' them which brings out the sugar and no indigestion. If you like raw onions then that is true to the orginal recipe.
3. Grill the Cod until done. Immediately pat with butter.
4. Top with equal amounts of the chopped tomato, cilantro and onion. Squeeze a bit of fresh lime over it.
That's it! REALLY great flavor combo!
