Kerapu Bumbu Kuning: A Delightful Indonesian Grilled Grouper Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 medium grouper fish (cleaned thoroughly)
- Spice Paste:
- 5 cloves garlic
- 8 cloves shallots
- 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
- 1 piece of turmeric (about 2 inches)
- 1 piece of ginger (about 2 inches)
- 3 lime leaves (daun jeruk)
- Salt to taste
- Oil (for grilling)
Instructions

Prepare the Spice Paste: In a blender, combine the garlic, shallots, coriander seeds, turmeric, ginger, and lime leaves. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
-
Marinate the Fish: Rub the prepared spice paste generously over the cleaned grouper fish, ensuring that each fish is well-coated. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for several hours, allowing the spices to infuse into the fish.

Grill the Fish: Preheat a Happy Call grill or a similar grill pan. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking—just a small amount will suffice. Place the marinated grouper on the grill and cook until the fish is golden brown and cooked through, turning as necessary to ensure even cooking.
