Nate's Garlic Bass on the Grill

6 bass fillets (6-8 oz each)

Marinade:
6 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1 T. peeled, grated ginger
2 T minced fresh cilantro leaves
3 T sugar
1/4 c. soy sauce, plus more for brushing
3 T dry sherry
3 T dark sesame oil, plus more for brushing
1 t. coarse kosher salt
1 t. black pepper

Prepare garlic, ginger, and cilantro leaves, and sugar by crushing (mortar/pestle) or puree in food processor. Work in fish sauce (soy), dry sherry, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon marinade on both sides of the fillets. Cover the fish in plastic wrap and let marinate 30 min to 1 hr. Direct grill on high. Make sure the grates are clean and oil them well before placing fillets directly on the grill. Grill each side 4 to 6 minutes. Brush tops before turning with soy/sesame. It's done when you press the fillet and it breaks into clean flakes.
