My girls and I love fish, especially if it’s pan fried BUT I hate frying fish. I suck at frying fish and can never fry a fish perfectly. This makes me miss Dyah, our former helper more. She used to help us fry fish for dinner almost every day. These days, I have been using the oven a lot to grill meat and fish. That’s because I hate to fry them using the wok or non-stick pan. I hate the oil splatters. I normally grill salmon and mackerel but yesterday, I tried grilling black pomfret fish for the first time. And it turned out fishylicious!
Here’s my oven grilled black promfret fish with lots of chopped garlic, oregano and parsley herbs, ground black pepper, oil, garlic salt, sea salt and a few dashes of Lea & Perrin sauce. All the ingredients were slathered on both sides of the fish.
Preparation time : 10 mintues
Grilling time in oven : 25 minutes (uncovered on a greased baking paper laid out on a baking tray. I used Knife peanut and sesame seed oil)
The girls prefer oven grilled fish over pan-fried fish as the meat of oven grilled fish is tender and juicy vs rough and dry meat if pan-fried. Best of all, there ain’t a single drop of oil splatter, except that I have to lightly wipe the oven after use. I use Sol-U-Mel from Melaleuca (which is non-toxic) to wipe the inside of the oven to remove the fish odor.
I’m really happy with the taste and texture of this grilled black pomfret fish 😀 Busy mums and dads who want to dish out sweat-free delish homecooked food for your little ones in a jiffy, do give this a try too!
