Ingredients:
- 2 Titus (Mackerel) fish, cleaned and gutted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Marinate the Fish:
- Place the cleaned Titus fish in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it is well-coated. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed and hot.
- Prepare the Grill Grates:
- Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking. You can use a paper towel dipped in oil and tongs to rub the oil onto the grates.
- Grill the Titus Fish:
- Place the marinated Titus fish on the preheated grill. Grill the fish for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the size of the fish, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish.
- Serve:
- Remove the grilled Titus fish from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
Tips:
- Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different marinades and spices to suit your taste preferences. Try adding chili flakes for a spicy kick or fresh dill for a more aromatic flavor.
- Indoor Grilling: If you don’t have an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop or an indoor electric grill to cook the fish.
Enjoy your grilled Titus fish! It’s a healthy and tasty dish that’s perfect for any meal.
