Dorada fish on charcoal on the grill

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook dorado on coals on the grill? First prepare the fish. It’s great if you have fresh dorado, but you can also use frozen ones. If you have frozen fish, remove it from the freezer in advance and leave it at room temperature until completely defrosted. Clean the carcasses of scales, remove the entrails and gills. Rinse the fish and dry it with napkins to remove excess moisture.

2. STEP 2

   

   In a small deep container, add refined vegetable oil (or olive), soy sauce, a mixture of peppers, dry spices and salt to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained. What spices are best to use? You can take a ready-made mixture for fish dishes or dry herbs to taste.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add the marinade to the fish. Soak each carcass in the marinade with massaging movements and leave in this way for 15-30 minutes. If you leave the fish to marinate for a longer time, then wrap it in cling film or put it in a plastic bag, and then put it in the refrigerator.

4. STEP 4

   

   When the dorado is marinated, you can light the grill. Smooth out the remaining coals after the flame into an even layer.

5. STEP 5

   

   Grease a clean, dry grate with vegetable oil. This is done so that the fish does not stick to the metal during baking. Place the dorado on the grill and cook until the skins are browned. I usually cook various vegetables in parallel, if space on the grill allows. This time there was green asparagus available.

6. STEP 6

   

   Turn the dorado over to the other side and cook until done.

   Done, serve with baked or fresh vegetables. Delicious both hot and cold.
