Beijing Grilled Fish

Beijing Grilled Fish is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines fresh fish with a tantalizing marinade, grilled to perfection over an open flame. This gluten-free BBQ dish brings the essence of traditional Chinese street food right to your kitchen.

Ingredients

• Whole fish (such as tilapia or trout) - 400 grams, cleaned and scaled
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
• Rice wine (Shaoxing wine) - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Scallions - 2, chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice to create the marinade.
2. Place the cleaned fish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring the fish is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
4. Once marinated, carefully place the fish on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
5. During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle chopped scallions and cilantro over the fish for added flavor.
6. Remove the fish from the grill and serve immediately with extra lime wedges for garnish.
