Description

Asian style fish grill . A fish grill which is an all in one combination dish with spicy ,  sweet , sour and salty blend together .   At home we grill mutton and chicken a lot but never fish . As all are fussy about fish . Once when I grilled fish , was over loaded with complaints saying that the grilled fish smelled fishy . So from then on just stooped grilling fish . But now a days once in a while I do grill and cheat saying its pan roasted . This Asian style grill was done at home for lunch when my friend meera aboo thambys hubby dropped in for lunch . He being a health fanatic , had to make a menu where food must taste as good as it looks and should be healthy to . so i ended up with a menu of soup , salads and grills . This menu was a big hit ,   What more do you want when a guest is pleased and happy with what you have cooked .

Ingredients

Fish -1/2 kg ( any type of fish , I have used sheer fish )

To Garnish : Handful of thinly sliced onions and wedges of fresh lime

Ingredients Marination sauce

Ingredients
Quantity
Light soya sauce4 tablespoons
Oyster sauce 1 tablespoon
Fish sauce1/4 teaspoon be very careful using fish sauce as it is very salty . The soya sauce we are using also has a lot of salt .. So beware
brown sugar1 teaspoon
cloves garlic, minced4
lime juice1 tablespoon
chilli flakesto taste
Saltto taste

Method

  1. Stir all marinate sauce ingredients together until sugar dissolves. Place fish fillets in a flat-bottomed bowl and pour half the sauce over. Turn the fillets in the sauce. (Reserve the rest of the sauce for later.)
  2. Allow fish to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours in advance (just cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to cook).
  3. Heat the grill . Lightly brush the grill with a little cooking oil, then grill the fish for 5-10 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily and the inner flesh is no longer translucent.
  4. Heat up remaining sauce and use as a dip, glaze, or to spoon over the fish as you eat it. Note that this sauce is very strong-tasting, so you only need a little bit at a time. If you find it too strong, you can dilute it slightly with a splash of water and some fresh lime juice. If you find it too sour, add a little more sugar.
  5. Can bake in the oven as well by Placing marinated fish in a covered baking dish along with the marinade. Bake in a pre heated oven at 180 degree celsius for 15-20 minutes, or until fish flakes easily and the inner flesh is no longer translucent.serve hot with sliced onions , lemon wedges and marinate sauce .
  6. If your fish slices are too thin you can spread tin foil or banana leaves over the barbecue – again, oil the surface where the fish will be cooking to make turning easier.
