4slicesginger(¼ inch thick each)
2tspwhite and black pepper
1tspcurry powder
2tsp salt
2tspseasoning powder
Instructions
Place chopped pepperoni, onion. tomato, garlic and ginger in a food processor. Blitz to a paste.
Heat up a skillet over high heat, add paste and stir continuously until liquid evaporates. This should take about 2minutes. Take out of heat and add all the other ingredients listed except the fish. Mix to incorporate.
Cut 4 diagonal slits on each side of the fish. Rub the paste generously all over ; into the slits and cavity as well.
Place on the wire rack in a hot oven and grill for 8 minutes on each side. When one side is cooked, baste with more of the marinade and flip over for the other side to cook. Take out of the oven.Tip: When grilling, place foil paper on another oven tray underneath the wire rack. All the liquid released from the fish will drop unto the foil paper. This will save you time from cleaning the whole oven.
The rest of the seasoning can be saved in the freezer for your next grill, used as a base for your sauces, as a marinade for chicken or in jollof rice.
