Instead of the typical fried fish, this version of escabeche showcases grilled kingfish, a rich and oily type of mackerel, bathed in an acidic pepper-and-onion marinade.
Ingredient:
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
- 2 large red bell peppers, stemmed and thinly sliced lengthwise (about 2 1/2 cups)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 fresh bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt, divided, plus more to taste
- 6 (6-ounce) kingfish steaks (1 inch thick, see Note)
- Lime wedges, for garnish
