Humphead Snapper Tandoori

2 servings

45 minutes

The goby-headed lucian tandoori is a refined dish with a bright spicy flavor and tender fish texture. This recipe is inspired by Indian tandoori traditions but adapted to European cuisine. The marinade of ginger, garlic, vinegar, and spices gives the fillet a rich aroma and a slight spiciness, while grilling preserves the meat's juiciness. The dish pairs perfectly with chutney, adding fruity sweetness and refreshing contrast. The lucian's firm meat becomes soft and silky after marinating and grilling. This dish is perfect for both special dinners and cozy family gatherings, allowing enjoyment of a complex blend of flavors and aromas.
