My Best Grilled Fish Recipes Are Heavily Used All Summer Long

Cooking Grilled Fish Is A Breeze!

➡️ Grilled fish can be cooked also on skewers, after marinating, and this is the main staple in many cuisines. It can be grilled as steaks or whole fish, sometimes even both. The fish can be fast-grilled or slow-grilled, with or without any oil or butter, depending on the size and fish type. Obviously, the larger the fillet or fish, the longer the frying time. More fatty fish does not need a marinade with oil or butter, while fish with drier meat must be well marinated to be really juicy and tasty.

➡️ When it comes to marinade for grilled fish, this technique allows you to add flavor to your food even if you don’t have a lot of time. Among the ingredients I often use to marinate grilled fish, onions or garlic are indispensable, as well as lemon juice and herbs such as dill, parsley, coriander, or even rosemary. Other Ingredients I like combined with fish are sun-ripened tomatoes and bell peppers, and sometimes hot peppers when preparing spicy food.

➡️ Grilling is one of the best ways to cook fish because it is quick and easy, so it’s great for any occasion and especially for a grill party. This fast cooking process changes the texture and taste of the fish, by adding char flavor to the food. Because even the thick fish fillets are ready quickly by grilling, you can easily cook a lot of dishes for a crowd without being overwhelmed. Additionally, it’s hard to find good fish in the city, and often are too expensive for a weeknight dinner. So, make grilled fish as many times as you can at home and cook it your way!
