Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Start by cleaning the market fish thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the fish, ensuring even coating. Let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are glowing and covered with ash.

  4. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Place the marinated fish on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the fish is grilling, chop the seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a bowl with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  6. 6

    Grill the Vegetables

    Place the seasoned vegetables on the grill in a grill basket or directly on the grates. Grill for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once the fish and vegetables are done, remove them from the grill. Drizzle the tamarind molasses over the fish, and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve alongside the grilled vegetables.
