Marinade For Whole Fish
Description
This vibrant marinade is the secret to perfectly seasoned whole fish. By combining coarse salt, white peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and fresh coriander, you create a potent paste that penetrates the flesh, enhancing the natural sweetness of the seafood. The olive oil binds the spices, creating a glossy coating that helps crisp the skin during cooking. Ideal for grilling, baking, or pan-searing, this Mediterranean-inspired blend adds a sophisticated kick without overpowering the delicate texture of the fish. It is an essential preparation for any seafood enthusiast looking to elevate simple ingredients into a restaurant-quality meal.Ingredients
