How to make oven grilled white bass fish & plantain. This meal will you craving for more !

hello everyone welcome back i hope everyone is doing well thank you for tuning in today i share how to make this oven grilled fish and some rye plantains the perfect dinner or lunch you need so keep watching let's begin first i'll prepare the pepper i have some garlic onion scotch bonnet pepper use as much as you can tolerate i have some red bell pepper and some basil you guys basil in this thing is just a game changer i love it if you have green seasoning you can add one to it as well so next you want to rinse them take out the seed from the red bell pepper and then chop this up roughly i don't want to blend it um smooth so i'm using my food processor you can also chop this up with a knife even a blender just use the pulse button so to help turn the blade i've added a bit of vegetable oil you may not even need to add vegetable oil especially if you're using a food processor so yeah i added a little bit i'm going to now chop this up roughly so now we are going to fry that pepper mix in a pan you want to heat up some oil once it heats up go ahead and add the chopped pepper mix then fry this until it is dry to season this i like to keep it simple i'll just add some seasoning cubes salt and some smoked paprika i like the addition of smoked paprika it gives it this depth in flavor plus that basil addition just tied everything together okay so yeah season and then just allow this fry until it is dry so now you may choose not to fry this just blend the pepper add the seasoning to it and then rub it all over the fish and your fish will still come out delicious but i like the result i got when i fried the pepper mix but please do whichever one you prefer so i'm going to fry this until it is dry and then set it aside to cool down a bit so now that is out of the way we are going to now slice our ripe plantains so this planting was ripe but not mushy ripe okay so that's the kind of planting you should look out for so i'm going to peel it cut it in half and in quarter as well before i slice cut this any way you prefer just make sure it's not so chunky so that it can be done by the time the fish is done as well once i'm done with that i'll season with a bit of salt and set it aside as well if this is your first time here thank you so much for tuning in please subscribe to my channel it is free of charge they don't charge you for it hit the notification bell to the

appreciate it so now to the fish i'm going to place it on this pan which have been lined with some foil because we're going to be baking it in this foil paper this fish have already been cleaned by the fishmonger all i needed to do was rinse it once i go home and then pat it dry so that there's no moisture on the fish please make sure you remove the guts if you're cleaning in the house don't bake your fish with the gut in it okay so now once i'm done with that i'm going to make some incisions on the fish just like this this will help our seasoning penetrate into the fish and the end result is a very delicious or very sweet fish so i'm going to score it like this on both sides before we move to the next step the name of this fish i'm using is called white bad or if you have catfish that will really really well as well for this recipe so you can use catfish or any fish you have at home the incisions are done next we're going to season this fish with a bit of salt we have salt in the pepper mix yes we have in a plantain yes but then that won't be enough to go around for this fish so i like to just add a little bit of salt not too much so once this is done i am now going to add the fried pepper mix all over this fish you want to make sure every part of this fish gets that pepper mix in the belly area the head in the incisions everywhere front and back i also saved some pepper mix so you don't go and use everything for the fish yeah i saved some because we're going to add it to the plantain later so once this is well coated you can set this aside to marinate in the fridge for about an hour but i didn't have that patience 10 minutes was good and the fish was still delicious seafood really takes to seasoning faster but if you have the time and patience then marinate in the fridge for about an hour if you're going to do this overnight then please do not add salt to the fish the salt in the pepper mix and in the plantain will be fine so at this point our fish is well seasoned now remember i saved some pepper mix i've added it to the plantain i'm going to mix this in thoroughly to make sure it's well coated as well and then place it around the fish just like so try not to crowd it in one area so you can get enough heat to cook by the time the fish is done as well place it on there and then we're going to wrap this up and it is time for these babies to go into the oven so my oven setting has this grill or broil setting and it is on low or on high what i did was wrap it up in this foil and for the first 15-20 minutes i broiled this on high then after that i'll take it out open it up and then put it back in the oven for it to broil on low for the next 15 to 20 minutes as well and after a total of 35 minutes our fish and plantain was perfectly done and look at that so delicious what i did was wash my hand and dipped right in you guys tell me your mouth is not watering enough to click the like button and leave me a comment yeah i hope you get to try this out and that you actually like it i'm sure you like it if you like fish yes so yeah and before i forget you can also use yam in place of plantain and it will be just as good so yeah our fish and plantain is ready to be enjoyed thank you so much for watching see you in my next one bye
