How to make Grilled Fish
Preparation
- Step 1
In a bowl, combine the oil, pepper, garlic, onions, cumin, ginger powder, garlic powder, salt, curry powder, nutmeg, fish seasoning, Maggi cube, and lime juice. Mix well to create a marinade.
Marinating the Fish
- Step 1
Rub the marinade mixture thoroughly onto the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Step 2
Cover the marinated fish and allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate.
Grilling or Baking
- Step 1
Preheat your grill or oven to the appropriate temperature. For grilling, use medium heat. For baking, preheat to 375°F (190°C).
- Step 2
Grill the fish for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Alternatively, bake the fish for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serving
- Step 1
Serve the grilled or baked fish hot with a side of potatoes or your favorite accompaniment.

Tips & Tricks
For a smokier flavor, use charcoal when grilling the fish.
If you don't have fresh coriander, dried coriander can be used as a substitute. Start with a smaller amount as the flavor can be more concentrated.
Adjust the amount of pepper according to your spice preference. For a milder flavor, reduce the amount; for a spicier dish, increase it.
Ensure the grill is properly oiled to prevent the fish from sticking.
To ensure the fish is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
