Gochujang-Glazed Grilled Fish (Rockfish)
Prep Time | 10 minutes |
Cook Time | 25 minutes |
Total Time | 35 minutes |
Serves | 4 servings |
2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
2 whole mackerel (about 1 ½ pounds each) or 4 whole rainbow trout (about 5 ounces each), cleaned and butterflied, tails left on (see Notes)
Whisk gochujang, oil, soy sauce, vinegar and ginger in a small bowl until smooth. Transfer 2 tablespoons marinade to a small bowl and set aside.
Open each fish like a book, exposing the flesh. Place in a large pan or on a baking sheet and spread the remaining marinade over the flesh. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
About 20 minutes before you're ready to grill, preheat gas grill to high or prepare a charcoal fire.
Brush the grill grates clean and oil them well. To oil grill grates, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it on the grates. Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.
Grill the fish, flesh-side down, for 3 minutes. Flip with a large spatula, spread the reserved marinade over the fish and grill until opaque in the center, 3 to 4 minutes more.
