Grilled Dorado with Quick Parsley Marinade

4 servings

30 minutes

Grilled dorade with a quick parsley marinade is an exquisite dish of French cuisine, where fresh fish takes on a deep aroma of herbs and lemon. The marinade of parsley, garlic, and lemon juice gives the dorade freshness and a slight spiciness, while the tender fish meat grilled remains juicy and rich. Cuts on the fish's surface allow spices to penetrate deeper, enhancing the flavor. It cooks quickly, and serving it with a side of potatoes or rice makes it an ideal option for an outdoor dinner. This dish pairs wonderfully with dry white wines and transports you to the cozy atmosphere of French summer evenings.
