Instructions
- Crush the garlic with a pinch of salt, then mix with the lemon juice, oil, cumin, paprika and pepper.
- Brush the marinade over both sides of the fillets and leave to rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Heat a cast-iron pan or grill over high heat until it starts to smoke lightly.
- Lay the fillets skin-side down first and cook for 4 to 5 minutes without moving them, until they release easily.
- Turn them carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes: the flesh should be opaque and flake into strips.
- Make the salsa by finely slicing the onion and tomato, then season with salt, chopped parsley and lemon juice.
- Serve the fish with the rice, plantains and salsa on the side.
Variations and tips
Oven version. Preheat the oven to 220 °C and bake the fillets on an oiled tray for 10 to 12 minutes, without turning them.
