I have plenty of great recipes that would be great for the 4th<\/sup> of July. Grilled meats (chicken, burgers), sliders, slaws, sides, dips and desserts can all be found here<\/a>. However, one thing that I don\u2019t do a lot is grill seafood.<\/p>\n

That is why I was intrigued to learn some tips and recipes from Michelin-starred Chef Laurent Manrique on behalf of Courvoisier Rose. (The tip about opening clams is enough of a reason to read the whole article. I never knew that.) Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Grilling Skills Tips from Chef Laurent Manrique <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 Use thick fish steak (tuna, salmon and mahi mahi work best). Whole fish like snapper, trout, and striped bass are also great to grill.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Tender filets do not work well on the grill, unless you use a metal basket, or wrap the filets in foil.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Make sure your grill is very hot and avoid using too much oil if you are marinating fish.<\/p>\n

\u2013 For fish steak, allow 6 minutes of cooking per inch off thickness.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Make sure the skin is very crispy before turning the fish to grill the other side.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Sauce vierge (made with olive oil, lemon juice, chopped tomato and chopped basil) is a perfect sauce for grilled fish. Or you can simply use a mixture of lemon, oregano, capers, and olive oil.<\/p>\n

\u2013 For a sauce with a kick, try a mixture of sesame oil, chili garlic paste, diced mango, cilantro and mint.<\/p>\n

Summer is all about hitting the waves, so why should your grill be land-locked with burgers and steaks? Grilled barbecue clams are an unexpected yet delicious option for any backyard event.<\/p>\n
