Ingredients

Ingredient Quantity
Ikan selar (Yellowtail scad) 1/2 kg
Garlic cloves 4
Fresh turmeric 1 piece
Salt To taste
Coriander To taste
Lime or lemon juice To taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fish
    Clean the Ikan selar thoroughly. Squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the fish to eliminate any fishy odor and add a touch of brightness to the flavor.

  2. Make the Marinade
    In a mortar or blender, grind the garlic cloves, fresh turmeric, salt, and coriander until they form a smooth paste. Adjust the seasoning as desired.

  3. Marinate the Fish
    Rub the marinade paste generously over the fish, ensuring even coating on all sides. Let the fish marinate for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to absorb.

  4. Grill the Fish
    Place the marinated fish on a preheated grill. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the fish is golden, cooked through, and slightly charred.

  5. Serve
    Serve the grilled ikan selar warm with a wedge of lime or your favorite side dish for a delightful, flavorful meal.
