Grilled Whole Fish
Dinner Party, Gluten Free, keto, Paleo, Seafood • Respond to this post »
If the thought of preparing and serving whole grilled fish is something you never considered, I get it. Looks a bit daunting perhaps? However, it’s about the easiest dinner party entree I have ever cooked.
Just stuff each fish with some lemon slices, fresh herbs and shallots, give them a good sprinkle of olive oil and kosher salt. Then grill on moderately high heat. Although you are cooking a whole fish, each side is fairly thin, it only takes 4-6 minutes to cook each side, leaving lots of time to enjoy your guests.
Served with a warm potato salad and big green salad, it was a huge success.
I hope you give it a try…..
