Brilio.net - Grilled fish is one of the mainstay menus that always tempts the appetite. With the spices that permeate and the distinctive aroma of the grilled fish, this side dish is a favorite of many people at various events, from casual dinners to family parties. The delicious taste and soft texture of the meat make grilled fish hard to resist.
Unfortunately, for many people, cooking grilled fish at home often feels troublesome. The process of grilling fish requires special equipment, such as a grill and charcoal, which are not always available in every kitchen. In addition, if using non-stick Teflon as an alternative, the results sometimes do not provide the typical aroma of grilled fish cooked over coals. Not to mention, other challenges such as fish sticking to the grill or burning in some parts, make many people finally choose to buy ready-made grilled fish rather than making it themselves.
Although it seems complicated, making perfect grilled fish at home can actually be overcome with the right technique. There is a simple trick that you can practice when you want to make your own grilled fish at home. Even without charcoal or a special grill pan, you can still produce delicious and perfectly cooked grilled fish.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @peggi8 on Monday (6/1), there are several steps that need to be done before the fish is ready to be grilled. First, wash the fish and make deep cuts on the surface. After that, rub the surface of the fish with salt until it is evenly distributed throughout.

Next, prepare a frying pan and fill it with enough cooking oil. Then sprinkle a little flour, then put in the salted fish. Well, this fish needs to be fried first so that the inside can be cooked more perfectly.
"It doesn't need to be too dry. If it's firm, just lift it straight away," said Instagram @peggi8.

Well, the fried fish can be grilled directly. You can prepare a flat pan at home. Then line the pan with banana leaves to enhance the aroma of the fish later. Then, arrange the fish on the banana leaves and turn on the stove with a low volume.

While grilling on low heat, you can brush the spices on the surface of the fish to make it taste better. Then turn the fish over until the surface is slightly burnt (like when grilled with charcoal). Each time you turn it over, brush the spices again so that the fish meat doesn't dry out. Then lift and serve the fish on a plate.
