Grilled Fish Havana Style - Pescado De Habana image

This recipe works well with just about any type of fish filet. Leave skin on, it helps keep the filets from shrinking and will help keep the fish from sticking to the grill. The skin can easily be removed before serving or leave it on, either way it is good! Found this in "Three Men from Miami Cook Cuban" by Glenn Lindgren, Raul Musibay and Jorge Castillo. Refrigerate from 2-4 hours before grilling.

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs kingfish fillets or 2 lbs tuna fillets, skin on
1/4 cup olive oil
6 garlic cloves
1 medium onion
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 lime, juice of
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 cup white wine, NOT COOKING WINE

Steps:

  • Simply run all the marinade ingredients through the food processor, until onions are chopped fine.
  • Place filets in shallow baking dish and pour marinade on top and cover.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours, but NO LONGER! Otherwise, you will have pickled fish.
  • Oil grill well, get it hot and ready or with a gas grill fully flamed and sizziling.
  • Just before grilling, remove filets from marinade and pat dry with paper toweling.
  • Rub a little olive oil on the fleshy side of fish and place on grill, skin side up just long enough to put some nice grill marks on the flesh.
  • Carefully, use a steel spatula to flip filets skin side down.
  • Flip the filets once and once only.
  • Cover the grill and continue cooking until fish flakes with a fork.
  • Keep an eye on them, so they don't burn.
  • Salt and coarse black freshly ground pepper, to taste.
  • 3/4 lb per person.

This recipe is a bit too bland for my taste. I'll add some more spices next time.

The fish was a bit overcooked, but the sauce was delicious. I'll try it again with a shorter cooking time.

The recipe was missing some key ingredients. I had to add some salt and pepper to make it taste better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The sauce was good, though.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover fish. I had some grilled salmon and it worked perfectly.
