Description

This dish transforms simple firm white fish into a gourmet experience using a fiery, aromatic marinade. The combination of roasted New Mexican chiles, fresh lemon juice, and warm ground coriander creates a complex flavor profile that is both spicy and refreshing. The marinade not only adds heat but also tenderizes the fish, ensuring a moist and flavorful result. Perfect for a weeknight dinner or a summer grill-out, this recipe is quick to prepare yet impressive enough for guests. The bright acidity of the lemon cuts through the richness of the fish, while the cilantro adds a fresh herbal note. Serve with steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Roast the New Mexican chiles until the skins are charred, then peel, remove stems and seeds, and chop finely.
  2. In a bowl, combine the chopped chiles, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped fresh cilantro, and ground coriander to create the marinade.
  3. Place the firm white fish fillets in a glass or ceramic dish and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  4. Remove the fish from the marinade and reserve the marinade in a saucepan.
  5. Heat the reserved marinade in a saucepan and stir in the melted ghee or vegetable oil.
  6. Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat.
  7. Grill or broil the fish for about 5-7 minutes per side, basting frequently with the hot marinade mixture until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
  8. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Note

For a vegan version, substitute ghee with vegetable oil or melted coconut oil.

If you cannot find New Mexican chiles, you can substitute with roasted poblano peppers or jalape&# 195;±os for a different heat level.

Marinating overnight is recommended for best flavor penetration, but marinating for at least 1 hour will still yield good results.

Be careful when basting with the marinade over an open flame to avoid flare-ups.
