Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Gurame fish (cleaned) 4 pieces
Barbecue sauce 1 tablespoon
Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon
Ground black pepper 1 teaspoon
Ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon
Sweet soy sauce 1 tablespoon
Melted margarine 3 tablespoons
Salt 1 teaspoon
Sasa seasoning To taste

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Fish: Start by gently pounding the cleaned gurame fish pieces to tenderize them. In a mixing bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ground black pepper, nutmeg, sweet soy sauce, melted margarine, salt, and Sasa seasoning. Rub this marinade generously over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  2. Preheat the Grill: While the fish marinates, preheat your grill or grill pan to a medium-high temperature. A happy pan works wonders for achieving that perfect char while keeping the fish juicy.

  3. Grill the Fish: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated fish on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is beautifully golden brown. Be careful not to overcook, as this can make the fish tough.

  4. Serve: After grilling, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve your grilled gurame fish hot, accompanied by crispy fried potatoes and a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
