Marinated sea bass with garlic and lemon

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 2 lemons
• 8 garlic cloves
• 1 bunch of parsley, flat-leaf
• Salt
• Cayenne pepper or piri-piri
• 4 fish(s) (medium-sized sea bass)
• 4 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 2 hours; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into a small bowl. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley. Add both to the lemon juice and season with salt and piri-piri or cayenne pepper. Scale and gut the fish, if necessary. Rinse under cold water and pat dry inside and out with kitchen paper. Place in a platter. Brush the fish, inside and out, with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Drain the fish well; set aside any remaining marinade. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. Fry the fish on both sides for 15 to 20 minutes, not overheating. Finally, add the marinade and bring back to a boil. Serve the fish and drizzle with the gravy. Tip: King prawns can be prepared in the same way.
