Grilled Apple-Smoked Striped Bass

• 1/4 cup apple wood chips
• 2 dried habanero chiles
• 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 (3-pound) striped bass fillet (about 1 inch thick)
• Cooking spray
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced

1. Cover apple wood chips with water, and soak for 1 hour. Drain well.
2. Place chiles in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground. Place 1/8 teaspoon ground chile in a small bowl (reserve remaining ground chile for another use). Add oil, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Rub spice mixture over fish; refrigerate 30 minutes.
3. Prepare grill.
4. Place wood chips on hot coals. Coat a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray; pierce foil several times with a fork. Place foil on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Place fish on foil; arrange lemon slices over fish. Grill 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve immediately.
