Grilling fish can be a tricky art, but at Christine’s African Cuisine, we’ve perfected the technique! If you’ve ever wondered how to achieve that mouthwatering, smoky flavor with just the right balance of seasoning, here’s my secret recipe you can try at home.
Christine’s Grilled Fish Secret
Clean and Prep the Fish
Start by thoroughly cleaning your fish. Once clean, season it generously with salt to enhance its natural flavors.
Maggi Magic
Use 1½ cubes of Maggi seasoning per fish (adjust based on size). Rub it between the lines, head, and belly of the fish. This step ensures every bite is bursting with flavor!
Blend the Seasoning
Blend your favorite spices with one cube of Maggi for a rich, flavorful mix. Pour half of this blend over the fish and add a drizzle of canola or vegetable oil for extra moisture.
Let It Marinate
Allow the fish to sit with the seasoning for 30 minutes to soak up all those delicious flavors. If you’re prepping ahead, refrigerate it overnight or freeze it for a few days.
Pro Tip
The longer the marinade, the richer the flavor! When you’re ready to grill, the fish will be tender, juicy, and packed with all the spices and goodness.
