My husband and I love fish and buy it frequently. Sometimes, we end up getting a more fishy fish than we like and hate to throw it away. So, this is something we've come up with to marinate the fish with to make it totally yummy, despite the funky-fish-flavor factor. :D My step-daughter hates fish and has always refused to eat it. She tried a piece of Tilapia marinated in this and said it was honestly good. That's saying a lot if she ate it! Hope you find this as useful as we do. It's great on a nice piece of fish OR for use on that older fish you found in the freezer that you thought you'd have to throw out because it's so, shall we say, reminiscent of the sea? ;) We always bake the fish in a glass dish with the marinade poured over it. Let me know what you think.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (you can leave this out and give each person a lemon wedge instead if you like)
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, minced
2 teaspoons basil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons pepper
1 dash paprika
Directions:
1. Whisk all ingredients together and pour over whichever fish you choose. I put the fish and marinade in a Ziplock and store it in the fridge.
2. Leave to marinate for one hour.
3. Cook fish however you prefer but baking is great.
