Postopek

Korak za korakom

1
Rinse the butterflied whole fish thoroughly under cold water and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
Približno 2 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Ensuring the fish is dry helps the marinade adhere better.
2
In a medium bowl, combine the achiote paste, orange juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, lime juice, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, and vegetable oil to create the marinade.
Približno 3 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Whisk well to ensure the achiote paste fully dissolves and distributes evenly.
3
Place the fish on a large baking sheet or tray and generously brush the marinade all over both sides of the fish, ensuring it gets into all crevices.
Približno 5 min
Kuharjeva opomba: You can make shallow cuts into the thickest parts of the fish to help the marinade penetrate deeper.
4
Let the fish marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Približno 20 min
Kuharjeva opomba: If refrigerating, bring it back to room temperature for 15 minutes before grilling for more even cooking.
5
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 200°C / 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: A fish grilling basket can be very helpful for flipping the whole fish without it breaking.
6
Carefully place the marinated fish onto the hot grill, skin-side down first if possible, or in a grilling basket.
7
Grill for 10-12 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Približno 25 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Avoid overcooking, as this can make the fish dry.
8
Once cooked, carefully transfer the Pescado Zarandeado to a large serving platter.
Približno 1 min
9
Garnish with sliced red onion, cucumber, tomato, lime wedges, and chopped fresh cilantro.
Približno 2 min
10
Serve immediately with warm tortillas and your favorite salsa.
