To celebrate the late summer season and the amazing work being done by my friends James Arthur & Daniella Smith at Seatopia, today I made a classic Mediterranean Diet dish with grilled Seatopia Branzino and an Heirloom Summer Salad of sweet corn, tomatoes, jalapeno, basil and lime.

Seatopia works with fish farms around the world to help them transition to regenerative production, producing healthy sustainable fish that is not only delicious and healthy but great for our oceans and broader environment as well. For this recipe I paired their artisan farmed Branzino (aka Mediterranean Seabass) with farmer's market veggies and herb from my garden to make a fun, fresh chopped salad that actually sits right on the fish contrasting the juicy flesh of the Branzino.

Directions

Fish Rub Prep

In a small bowl combine 1 TBS of smoked paprika, one TBS of Cumin, 1 zested lime, a pinch of sea salt and a generous amount of cracked pepper. Apply an even coat over the entire fish filet.

Heirloom Salad Prep

Remove the husks from the corn and apply a thin coating of OO, about 2 TBS for 3 pieces of corn. Slice two cups of heirloom tomatoes and ½ of a diced red onion to a bowl and set aside. On a hot grill, place the corn and jalapenos for 2 two 3 minutes or until there is a light char to them. Once the veg are grilled, lay down the fish at an angle skin side for 2 minutes and then flip for another 2 minutes ( it may take 3 minutes on each side depending on the heat of the grill.

Plating

In a large mixing bowl, remove the kernels from the cob and combine with heirloom tomatoes, chopped red onions and chopped jalapeno. Add lime juice, sea salt and tomatoes. On a plate or board, layer a generous portion of the salad over the grilled fish and add fresh basil.
