In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt and pepper.
Smear the fish with the marinade from the inside and outside, making sure to distribute it well in the slits you made. You can leave the fish to absorb the marinade for 30 minutes in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.
- Light the fire:
Light the charcoal and leave it until the embers turn red and the flames decrease. The heat should be medium, as grilling over a high flame may burn the outer shell without cooking the fish well from the inside.
- Grill the fish:
Place the fish on the grill or on a grill rack to maintain its shape.
Grill the fish for 10-15 minutes on each side (depending on the size of the fish), turning the fish carefully to avoid breaking it up. While grilling, you can use a brush to brush the fish with more marinade or olive oil to keep it tender and prevent it from drying out.
- Serving:
After making sure the fish is fully cooked, remove it from the heat and place it on a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
Tips:
You can add some slices of vegetables such as tomatoes or peppers with the fish on the grill for more flavor.
Make sure to turn the fish gently so that it does not fall apart.
Enjoy grilled fish with a rich and distinctive flavor, it can be served with bread or rice and salad to complete the meal!
