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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the fish from the heat and serve it hot. Pair with a side of freshly made sambal or your favorite dipping sauce for a burst of flavor.
