- 1 large Onion(finely chopped)
- 2 medium Tomatoes(diced)
- 3 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger(freshly grated)

👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Rinse the fish under cold water and pat dry. Make 2-3 diagonal slits on each side of the fish.
- 2
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, minced scotch bonnet (if using), lemon/lime juice, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, bouillon powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade paste.
- 3
Rub the marinade paste all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the slits and cavities. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- 4
Prepare the attiéké according to package instructions. Typically, this involves steaming it with a little water until fluffy. Fluff with a fork and season with salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
- 5
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- 6
Grill the marinated fish for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and nicely charred. Baste with a little oil occasionally.
- 7
While the fish grills, in a small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the diced tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened, creating a simple sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- 8
Serve the grilled fish over a bed of fluffy attiéké. Spoon the tomato sauce over the fish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve with lemon or lime wedges.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Ensure the fish is completely dry before marinating for better flavor absorption.
- ✓Don't overcook the fish; it should flake easily with a fork.
- ✓If grilling is not an option, the fish can be baked or pan-fried.
