Recipe Instructions

Light charcoal fire.

To brown pine nuts: Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-low heat. When oil is hot, add pine nuts. Heat, stirring constantly, for 1 minute or until golden brown. (Note: Be watchful; pine nuts tend to burn very quickly.) Transfer nuts to paper towels. Set aside.

To saute vegetables: Melt butter in same skillet. Add cucumber. Saute over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, or until translucent. Add scallions. Saute for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in pine nuts. Keep warm.

To grill fish: When charcoal is gray and hot, lay fish fillets on grate. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes on each side, or until the fish is tender, flaky and translucent.

To serve: Season fish with salt and pepper. Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over fish. Ladle cucumber mixture over fish. Garnish with extra lemon wedges.
