Our first two summer ingredients are zucchini and Florida’s local treasure, mango. Paired with a fresh catch these ingredients and flavors are the foundation for creating a perfect summer dish.
To prepare the zucchini:
Ensure that the grill is hot
Slice the zucchini, then place it on the grill
Seasoning is not necessary prior to cooking; we want to allow the natural flavors to develop while grilling before we season.
To season the zucchini:
We recommend none other than Chef Angelo’s Amalfi Coast traditional seasoning recipe.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar
Add a touch of fresh mint
To prepare the mango:
Dice the fresh mango
Lightly sauté with red onions and red wine vinegar to create chutney
To prepare the fresh catch:
We are using a locally-caught Florida snapper filet for this recipe.
Ensure that the grill is hot
Place the filet on the grill and cook until your desired temperature
To season the fresh catch:
Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil
Top with garlic and parsley, or your preferred fresh herb choice
Drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice
Fred’s Notes: The key is to talk to your fishmonger wherever you are, and get the freshest fish possible. This can also accompany grilled chicken, veal, or pork chops, making it a very versatile preparation that is fresh, light, and full of flavor. Grilling is great in warmer weather when people want to be outdoors and not heat up the house! Although in Florida it is warm most of the year (and actually quite hot around Memorial Day typically), Memorial Day weekend in most of the country is the unofficial start to summer, which means backyard barbecues, sitting by the pool, and enjoying being outside! Wishing everyone a safe, happy, healthy Memorial Day weekend! Let us be healthy and remember those who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom and way of life we so enjoy! Thank you, Chef Angelo for another amazing recipe!
