👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Prepare the fish: Make a few shallow slashes on both sides of each fish. Season the cavity and the slashes with salt.
2
Make the date paste: In a food processor, combine the softened pitted dates, garlic cloves, grated ginger, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, chili flakes, lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Blend until a smooth paste forms. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to achieve the right consistency.
3
Marinate the fish: Generously coat the fish, inside and out, with the date paste. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
4
Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat. If using an oven, line a baking sheet with foil.
5
Grill or broil the fish for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The date paste will caramelize and char slightly, which is desirable.
6
Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the fish during the last few minutes of cooking for extra sheen.
7
Serve the grilled fish hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

💡 전문가 팁

✓Ensure the dates are soft enough to blend into a smooth paste. If they are dry, soak them in warm water for longer.
✓Adjust the amount of chili flakes based on your spice preference.
✓Don't overcook the fish, as it can become dry. It's done when the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
