Grilled Bass with Buttery Tomatoes
- 3 cups assorted cherry and/or grape tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons dry white wine
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for topping
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
- Vegetable oil, for brushing
- 4 skin-on striped bass fillets, preferably wild (about 8 ounces each)
- Preheat a grill to high.
- Toss the tomatoes with the melted butter, wine, tarragon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Pile the tomatoes in the center of a 24-inch-long piece of foil.
- Gather the edges and crimp to seal and form a packet.
- Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil.
- Brush both sides of the fish with vegetable oil; season generously with salt and pepper.
- Place the fish on one side of the grill, skin-side down.
- Grill until the fish is cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, grill the tomato packet on the other side of the grill, undisturbed, until the tomatoes are softened, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Carefully open the foil packet.
- Spoon the tomatoes and their juices over the fish and top with more tarragon.
