North African Spiced King Fish Steaks with Lemon-Herb Butter

Method

1. 1

   Gently thaw your Golden Fresh King Fish Steaks. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a beautiful sear. Using a sharp knife, make a few shallow diagonal scores on both sides of each steak, which helps the flavours penetrate deeply and cooks evenly.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the juice of half a lemon, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander. Season generously with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Rub this aromatic marinade all over the scored fish steaks, ensuring every crevice is coated. Let them rest for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the grill.

3. 3

   In a small saucepan, gently melt 50g of American Mark Salted Butter over low heat. Mince 2 cloves of garlic finely and add to the melted butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley or coriander and the zest of half a lemon. Keep warm, allowing the flavours to meld into a fragrant, golden elixir.

4. 4

   Preheat your BBQ grill to a medium-high heat. Lightly brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking. Once the grill is hot, carefully place the marinated king fish steaks onto the grates.

5. 5

   Grill the fish for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. During the last few minutes of cooking, generously baste the steaks with your vibrant lemon-herb butter, allowing the fragrant herbs to crisp slightly and the butter to impart a rich, savoury glaze.

6. 6

   While the fish finishes cooking, lightly brush 4 slices of American Mark Classic Sour Dough Bread with olive oil. Place them directly on the grill for 1-2 minutes per side, until beautifully golden brown with enticing grill marks and a slight crunch.

7. 7

   Carefully transfer the succulent Spiced King Fish Steaks and grilled sourdough to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining lemon-herb butter over the fish, and garnish with fresh lemon wedges and an extra sprinkle of herbs. Serve immediately, inviting your guests to savour the vibrant North African flavours.
