Fillet fish but leave skin on.  Remove any bones.  Turn grill on to medium heat and let warm up.  Lightly oil both sides of fillets with olive or vegetable oil to keep fillets from sticking to grill.  Season meat side of fillet with lemon pepper and garlic salt to taste.  Place skin side down on grill and cook for 5-6 minutes.  Turn fillets over and peel skin off using tongs or fork.  Skin should peel off easily if cooked well enough.  Sprinkle more spices on exposed skin side if desired.  Cook another couple minutes and flip back over and cook for one more minute or so to put grill marks on it and you’re done.  You can add bread crumbs to the meat side before grilling for a different taste.  You can also use this technique with a cedar plank.

Burbot Chowder
By Aaron Kern
 
Ingredients:
 
3 lbs burbot fillets, cut into bite-sized chunks after grilling or steaming (see directions)
8 slices bacon
Fresh parsley leaves (optional)
1 bunch scallions, chopped
8 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ground thyme
4 cups Vegetable broth OR 3 cuts vegetable broth and 1 8-oz bottle of clam juice.
2-lb potatoes, skin on, diced.
4 cup frozen corn
1/2 tsp salt or to taste
1 tsp black pepper or to taste
4 8-oz cans creamed corn
2-12 oz cans evaporated fat-free milk
1/2 cup smoked Gouda, Muenster, Havarti, or Brie. Something that is creamy and rich once melted.
1 cup or so instant potato flakes
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning or to taste (see below)
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes or to taste (optional, but recommended for those that like just a touch of spice). It sounds weird, but it works.
 
Directions:
 
Cook bacon in a large pot, remove, and crumble. Set aside. Add to scallions, thyme, garlic salt, black pepper to bacon drippings and sauté 5 minutes.  Raise heat, and then add potatoes and broth.  Bring to a simmer and keep at low simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes.  Add both types of corn, Worcestershire sauce, and evaporated milk.  Simmer another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend ingredients.  Cut heat; stir in potato flakes a couple tablespoons at a time until you have it as thick as you want.  Add cheese.
Either grill or steam fillets marinated in a little olive oil and the Old Bay seasoning and then add the already cooked fish to the soup as it is cooling down.  Grilled would be Aaron’s favorite way, as it adds a nice smokiness and char flavor.  Garnish bowl of soup with the crumbled bacon and parsley leaves.
