Ingredients

  • ¼ cup raw pistachios
  • 10 prunes
  • pits removed
  • coarsely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • finely grated
  • 2 cups finely chopped parsley
  • 1 cup finely chopped mint
  • ¼ cup finely chopped tarragon
  • ¼ cup kimchi or sauerkraut brine
  • 2 Tbsp. Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 (2–4-lb.) flatfish (such as sole
  • flounder
  • or turbot)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Aleppo-style pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, tossing occasionally, until browned in spots, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Let cool, then finely chop.

  3. 3

    Gently mix pistachios, prunes, garlic, parsley, mint, tarragon, kimchi brine, and vinegar in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt.

  4. 4

    Whisk in oil, then taste and season spoon sauce with more salt if needed.

  5. 5

    Prepare a grill for medium heat.

  6. 6

    Using a chef’s knife, cleaver, or serrated knife, cut fish crosswise into 2"–4"-wide planks (the larger the fish, the wider the planks); halve planks if fish is large.

  7. 7

    Pat fish dry, rub all over with oil, and season with salt and Aleppo-style pepper.

  8. 8

    Grill fish, undisturbed, until about 70 percent cooked through (use a knife to slide into flesh to check), about 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    The skin should release easily from the grate when the fish is ready to turn.

  10. 10

    If it’s sticking, keep cooking.

  11. 11

    Using a large fish spatula, turn fish over and grill until cooked through (fish is done when a paring knife easily pierces the flesh along the side), about 2 minutes.

  12. 12

    Transfer fish to a platter and spoon sauce over.
