Simple Spicy Grilled Fish

Today I bring you a very delicious Indian grilled fish recipe. Very easy and simple to prepare. For this, I have chosen Roosterfish. I let it marinate for an hour with the spices and lemon juice so that it takes all the flavours of the spices.

I usually add a pinch of red chilli powder to give it a nice colour, but it is not essential. Another spice that I usually add in this recipe is ajowan seeds. They provide a unique taste to this dish.

You can also make it in the oven. I usually serve this dish with a bowl of fresh salad.

Instructions:

-Take the roosters and give them some diagonal cuts (like the photo) so that the spices enter when we marinate them.

-Cut the onion into cubes and blend them with the ginger piece and garlic clove in a blender.

-Put salt and lemon juice on both sides of each rooster.

-In a small bowl, put the onion paste, spices, and oil. Mix everything well. With the help of your hand coat well with this mixer, every piece of the rooster.

-Let them marinate for 30 minutes or 1 hour.

-Then put a grill pan with oil on medium-high heat. When it is hot enough, put the marinated roosters. Cook them for approximately three minutes by each side. Remove them very carefully and sprinkle with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Tips and Tricks:

• If you want to make them in the oven, preheat the oven to 220 ºC. Brush a little bit of oil in the tray and place the roosters. Bake them for half an hour.
