  • Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the bell pepper over direct high heat, with the lid closed, until the skin is blackened and blistered all over, 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally. Place the pepper in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap to trap the steam. Set aside for at least 10 minutes. Peel the skin from the pepper, discarding the stem and seeds.

Put the tomatillos and the bell pepper in the bowl of a food processor and process for a few seconds. Add the remaining salsa ingredients, including hot pepper sauce to taste. Process until well combined but still a bit chunky.

Grill the fillets overdirect high heat, with the lid closed, just until the fish begins to flake when poked with small, sharp knife, 3 to 4 minutes, turning once.
