Chef Amina’s Roasted Fish Recipe

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fish

1. Clean the fish thoroughly by removing the scales, gutting, and rinsing with water.

2. Pat the fish dry with a paper towel and make 2-3 shallow diagonal cuts on each side. This helps the seasoning penetrate the fish for maximum flavor.

Step 2: Make the Marinade

In a bowl, mix:

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon ginger powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

1 tablespoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon ground coriander

2 tablespoons lemon juice

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Salt and black pepper to taste

Stir until it forms a smooth paste.

Step 3: Marinate the Fish

1. Rub the marinade generously all over the fish, ensuring it gets into the cuts and inside the cavity.

2. Cover and let the fish marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour (for deeper flavor).

Step 4: Preheat the Oven or Grill

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) or prepare your grill on medium-high heat.

Step 5: Roast the Fish

1. Line a baking tray with foil or grease the grill grates to prevent sticking.

2. Place the fish on the tray or grill and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. The fish is ready when the skin is crispy and golden, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro and serve hot with a side of roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.

Chef Amina’s Closing Tips

"As always, the secret is in the marinade. Don’t rush the process—let those flavors soak in. Whether you’re using an oven or a grill, keep an eye on the fish so it doesn’t overcook. I promise this dish will have everyone asking for seconds! Enjoy, and see you next time!"
