👨🍳 Οδηγίες
- 1
Clean and scale the fish thoroughly. Make diagonal cuts on both sides of each fish. This helps the marinade penetrate.
- 2
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped onion, ground ginger, paprika, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, lemon or lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste.
- 3
Rub the spice paste all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the cuts and cavities. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator).
- 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- 5
Place the marinated fish on the hot grill. Grill for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of the fish.
- 6
Alternatively, you can pan-fry the fish in a lightly oiled skillet over medium-high heat until cooked through.
- 7
Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Serve hot with rice, boiled yams, or a simple salad.
