Fish and Marinade

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh herbs, and sea salt. Place the cleaned Kinmedai in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and glowing.

  3. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the Kinmedai from the marinade and lightly pat it dry. Place the fish on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the fish from the grill, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve with lemon wedges and additional herbs if desired.
