Method
Fish Preparation
Marinate the Fish
In a bowl, mix the Yemeni spice mix, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade. Rub the marinade all over the Sea Golden Fish, ensuring it is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Oven
Preheat the traditional clay oven for grilling. If using a regular grill, preheat it to medium-high heat.
Cheese Sauce Preparation
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over low heat, combine cream cheese and milk. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add garlic powder and salt to taste. Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and remove from heat.
Serving
Serve the Dish
Serve the grilled Moofa Fish hot with a piece of pita bread and drizzle the cheese sauce over the fish or serve it on the side.
