- 1
Make shallow scores on both sides of the fish with a sharp knife. This helps the marinade penetrate.
- 2
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped chili peppers, lemon juice, vegetable oil, smoked paprika, cumin, turmeric, cayenne pepper, and salt. Blend until you have a smooth or slightly chunky marinade.
- 3
Generously rub the marinade all over the fish, both inside the cavity and into the scores on the sides. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are glowing red with a light ash coating. If using a gas grill, preheat to around 400-450°F (200-230°C).
- 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
- 6
Carefully place the marinated fish on the hot grill. Grill for about 8-12 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fish too much to prevent it from breaking apart.
- 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the grill. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
đĄ Proffstips
- âFor easier grilling and turning, you can use a fish basket.
- âIf you don't have a grill, you can bake the fish in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- âEnsure your fish is fresh for the best flavor.
