Time 2h30m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch fresh coriander
2 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons vinegar
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon crushed chili
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 4-pound whole fish such as striped bass, sea bass, red snapper, head and tail intact

Steps:

  • 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.
  • 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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fish turned out dry and overcooked. I'll have to try this recipe again.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's definitely worth it. The fish was fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavors were out of this world.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for my taste, but the fish itself was cooked perfectly.
