Dorado is a very healthy and tasty sea fish. It contains many microelements, as well as iodine, which is needed to prevent thyroid diseases. The fish is prepared in different ways. For example, you can cook dorado on the grill. The recipe requires only 20 minutes of marinating the carcass. For cooking, choose fresh fish with dark red bright gills.

How to cook Grilled Dorado

Step 1

Marinate the dorado. Place the fish in a bowl, sprinkle with salt on all sides, pepper, sprinkle with thyme. Rub well. Place the lemon cut into rings in the belly of the fish. Sprinkle the carcass with lemon juice. Grease with vegetable oil. Put in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Grill the fish on an electric grill. Heat the grill to 230 degrees, put the dorado in. Lower the top lid, but do not press the fish. You need to fix it so that it does not touch the carcass. Otherwise, a lot of juice will be released. Grill the fish for 4 minutes, turn over and grill the other side for another 4 minutes.
