Directions

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and chili flakes.

  2. 2

    Place the escolar in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

  4. 4
