Striped Bass is a terrific choice for this preparation, but the freshest fish possible rather than the variety will make all the difference, so select a fish that is readily available in your area.
To prepare the fish: Pat the fillets dry with paper towels. Brush the fillets with oil on both sides and season with salt and pepper; set aside.
To make the citrus vinaigrette: In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients.
To make the gremolata: In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients. Press to adhere half of the gremolata onto the fillets.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Using a silicone brush, coat grill with a thin coat of vegetable oil. Carefully grill the fish for 2 to 3 minutes on each side starting with the flesh side down. Gently remove the fillets from the grill and place on a serving platter.
Spoon the citrus vinaigrette over the grilled fish and sprinkle with the remaining gremolata. Serve immediately.
