GRILLED RED SNAPPER 
3/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. soy sauce
4 (8 oz.) red snapper fillets
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (4 1/4 oz.) can chopped black olives, drained
1/4 c. tomato paste
1/4 cup white wine
1 tsp. lemon juice
salt and pepper, to taste

Mix 1/2 cup olive oil and soy sauce. Drizzle over the fish. Marinate 30 minutes. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1/4 cup olive oil in heavy medium size skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and sauté until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add the olives, tomato paste and 1/4 cup wine.

Cook until thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and season sauce with salt and pepper.

Preheat barbecue on medium high heat or preheat broiler if you do not have a barbecue.

Cook fish just until opaque and fish is flaky, turning once. This should take about 9 minutes per inch of thickness.

Serve immediately on warm plates with the warm olive sauce.

May be served over pasta.

Grilled Red Snapper

This recipe is quite drunkproof, even after 3 pints of Moylan's Irish Red, I was able to accomplish it to the satisfaction of my Italian ladyfriend. White rice is a satisfactory subsitute for the pasta. Highly recommended.

This recipe is just simply great. I love food and I like to cook a variety of dishes and I have to say this is the best one I have done yet. Just allow yourself about an hour for prep. It is worth the work and the grilling really does it. I was basting the fish with the marinade while it was cooking on the grill for added flavor, it also helped the fish not to stick to the grill. Just watch the flames from the oil. The sauce is just out of this world also. You won't be disappointed. It's worth it. I will be doing this again. The best thing is that, it isn't expensive to do but you will pay a fortune if you get this in a restaurant.

I prepared this recipe tonight for the first time and it was fabulous. Instead of pasta or rice, I paired the fish with seasoned grilled vegetables. My family loved it!
