Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 large shallots, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped

  • Vegetable oil, for greasing the grill
  • Lemon wedges, for garnish
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a small mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, garlic, shallots, cumin, and about 3/4 of the cilantro (reserve the remaining cilantro for garnish).

  • Step 2: Place the fish in a large glass or ceramic dish. Rub your fingers over the fish to check for and remove any bones, and pour the marinade over the fish. Make sure the fish is evenly coated on both sides and marinate for approximately 1 hour in the refrigerator, turning once, (being careful not to marinate for too long so the lemon juice won't cook the fish).

  • Step 3: Brush a grill or broiler pan with vegetable oil and heat it to high heat. Grill the fish fillets for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until done to your liking. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and the lemon wedges.
