Instructions
To prepare vinaigrette: Peel the garlic and smash with the side of a chefs knife. Using a fork, mash the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl to form a coarse paste.
Whisk in 5 tablespoons oil.
Add 6 tablespoons orange juice, vinegar and mustard; whisk until well blended. Taste and whisk in up to 4 tablespoons more juice to mellow the flavor; season with more salt, if desired. Set aside at room temperature.To prepare salad: Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan fitted with a steamer basket.
Add potatoes; cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove to a cutting board. When cool enough to handle, slice and place in a shallow bowl.
Drizzle with 1/3 cup vinaigrette; set aside.
Add beans to the steamer basket; cook until bright green and just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Rinse in a colander with cold water until cool.
Place in a medium bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette.
Combine lemon juice, 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a sturdy sealable plastic bag; shake until the salt dissolves.
Add fish and marinate for up to 20 minutes while you ready the grill.Preheat grill to medium-high for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to medium. (For a charcoal grill, wait until the flames subside and only coals and some ash remainflames will cause the oil on the fish to burn.)
Drain the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the fish, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side for halibut; 3 to 4 minutes per side for bass.Arrange lettuce leaves on a large serving platter. Arrange the fish (whole or flaked into large chunks), potatoes, green beans and tomatoes on top.
Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette.
Garnish with eggs, olives, parsley and pepper to taste.
Recommended wine: Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, Pinot Noir
Pinot Grigio, Gruener Veltliner, and Pinot Noir are great choices for Fish. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. One wine you could try is GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford Pinot Grigio. It has 4.8 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 15 dollars.
