How to Make Spicy Grilled Fish Pieces
- Combine 4 cloves garlic, 2 shallots, 2 stalks lemongrass (finely minced), 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, 2-3 red chilies (finely chopped, adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a food processor. Process until a smooth paste forms.
- Cut 1 pound of firm white fish (such as cod, snapper, or mahi-mahi) into large bite-sized pieces.
- Place the fish pieces in a bowl, add the spice paste, and toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor absorption).
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Line a grill tray with foil for easy cleanup. Place the marinated fish pieces on the prepared tray.
- Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and beautifully browned. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
- Transfer the grilled fish to a serving plate. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of fish sauce (to taste).
- Serve immediately with steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges (optional).
