Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Reserving a few sprigs of coriander for garnishing, combine all the ingredients except the fish in an electric blender and mix until smooth. With a sharp knife, make three slashes in the skin. Smear the mixture in the fish cavity and over the skin. Leave to marinate at room temperature for about 2 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Broil the fish for about 10 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish, or until cooked. Arrange on a serving platter, garnish with coriander and lemon slices.

Broil the marinade too ?

I grilled the fish in a grilling basket over the flames. The sauce/marinade is wonderful! One of the best fish I've made!!!
