Method

Preparation

1

Marinate the Fish

In a bowl, combine the Yemeni spice mix, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade. Coat the king fish fillets with the marinade and let them sit for at least 30 minutes.

2

Cook the Rice

In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Grilling

3

Grill the Fish

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the marinated king fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and has a nice crust.

4

Serve

Serve the grilled king fish moofa steak alongside the cooked rice and a portion of Yemeni sauce. Enjoy your meal!
