Jiangxi BBQ Fish

Jiangxi BBQ Fish is a mouthwatering dish featuring tender fish marinated in a blend of aromatic spices and grilled to perfection. This gluten-free recipe captures the essence of traditional Chinese BBQ, delivering delicious flavors with a hint of smokiness.

Ingredients

• Whole fish (e.g., tilapia or mackerel) - 400g
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 inch, grated
• Soy sauce (gluten-free) - 3 tablespoons
• Chili oil - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Spring onions - 2, chopped
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Lemon - 1, for garnish

Steps

1. Clean and gut the fish, then score the sides with shallow cuts to allow the marinade to penetrate.
2. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, gluten-free soy sauce, chili oil, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, black pepper, and salt. Mix well to create the marinade.
3. Place the fish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it coats both the inside and outside. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the marinated fish on the grill.
5. Cook the fish for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped spring onions and cilantro, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
