Ingredients
- Whole fish (such as mackerel or tilapia) - 400 grams
- Sea salt - 2 teaspoons
- Black pepper - 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder - 1 tablespoon
- Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
- Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
- Fresh cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
- Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
- Lettuce leaves - for serving
Steps
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, mix together sea salt, black pepper, chili powder, minced garlic, and lime juice to create a marinade.
- Clean the fish and make a few diagonal cuts on both sides to help the marinade penetrate.
- Rub the marinade generously over the fish, making sure to get it into the cuts and cavity. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Brush the grill grate with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the marinated fish on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lettuce leaves for wrapping.
