Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Fish

    Place the redfish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the fish is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into wedges. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the potato wedges until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

  5. 5

    Cook the Fish

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the marinated redfish fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Refried Black Beans

    In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and add cooked black beans. Mash with a fork and cook until heated through. Season with salt to taste.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Place the grilled redfish on a plate, serve with crispy potatoes and a side of refried black beans.
