Grilled Apple-Smoked Striped Bass

1/4 cup apple wood chips
2 dried habanero chiles
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 3 pound striped bass fillet, about 1 inch thick
cooking spray
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Cover apple wood chips with water, and soak for 1 hour. Drain well.
Place chiles in a spice or coffee grinder; process until finely ground.
Place 1/8 teaspoon ground chile in a small bowl (reserve remaining ground
chile for another use). Add oil, salt, and black pepper, stirring to
combine. Rub spice mixture over fish; refrigerate 30 minutes.
Prepare grill. Place wood chips on hot coals. Coat a large piece of
heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray; pierce foil several times
with a fork. Place foil on grill rack coated with cooking spray. Place
fish on foil; arrange lemon slices over fish. Grill 20 minutes or until
fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 servings.
