Grilled fish

Rating: 5.0/5

Serves: 4 Prep Time: Cooking Time: Nutrition facts: 200 calories 20 grams fat

Ingredients

1.5-2.5kg Whole Fish - I recommend Seabass or Seabream for this and you should get them about 750g each in size, ask your fishmonger to butterfly these. If using Fish fillets, reduce the marinade by half for 6 whole fillets (1-1.5kg of fish fillets).

Marinade

  • 8 Cloves Garlic
  • 6 Tbsp Lime/Lemon Juice or 3 limes
  • 2 Tbsp Oil
  • 1/2 Tbsp White vinegar
  • 2 Tsp Salt
  • 1.5 Tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 Tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground coriander
  • 1/4 Tsp Red chilli powder
  • 1 green chilli
  • 50g Fresh Coriander small bunch

Topping

  • 1 Carrot
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 green chilli

Instructions

  1. Deseed your green chilli and slice it into a few smaller pieces. Remove the tough stems from the coriander.
  2. Add all the marinade ingredients to a blender and blend into a slightly chunky paste
  3. Place your fish on an oven tray, and spread a few tablespoons of the marinade all over the insides of the fish. If making a whole fish, make slits in the sides and fill these with the marinade. Allow marinating for 15 minutes
  4. Slice your Tomato and Onion extremely thin (about 1mm) and grate your carrot finely. Slice the chilli into thin rounds
  5. Add the Tomato, Onion, Carrot and chilli to a bowl with a few tablespoons of the marinade. Mix until well combined.
  6. Add some of the toppings onto your fish (or into the slits) covering the entire thing in an even layer of the vegetables
  7. Preheat your oven with the grill (broiler) set to high. Place the tray under the oven and cook till the fish flesh is tender and cooked through. It took about 16 minutes for my medium fishes
  8. Serve immediately with Fisherman's rice and Tahini sauce
