Main Ingredients

Side Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Dorado

  1. 1

    Clean the Fish

    Rinse the cleaned Dorado fish under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic (crushed or finely chopped), juice of 1 lemon, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the fish, ensuring it's well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking the Fish

  1. 3

    Prepare for Cooking

    Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If using a grill, make sure it's well-oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. 4

    Grill or Bake the Fish

    Place the marinated Dorado on the grill or in a baking dish if using the oven. Grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If baking, cook for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  3. 5

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the fish from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley and wedges of the remaining lemon.

Preparing the Side

  1. 6

    Boil the Potatoes

    In a pot of salted boiling water, add the baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 7

    Sauté the Potatoes

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the boiled potatoes and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh dill.
