Best Grilled Lime Pompano Recipes

THE BEST WAY TO COOK A FLORIDA POMPANO

Steps:

• Rub the fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Grill the fillets skin-side up onver a medium-hot-fire for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn them and cook an additional 2 to 3 minues, until the fish is opaque all the way through.
• Remove the fillets from the fire and set them on a tray. Drizzle them with olive oil and squeeze a half lime over each.
• Sprinkle with the Italian parsley. Serve Immediately.

GRILLED POMPANO (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. ***You can substitute filets with the skin on in place of the whole fish. You can also substitute any kind of white fish in place of the pompano.
• 2. Place fish in large zip lock bag
• 3. Whisk together all marinade ingredients until well blended and frothy. Pour into bag with fish.
• 4. Seal bag and turn over several times to make sure all the fish is coated with marinade. Place bag in fridge for at least an hour (but not more than 4 hours or lime juice will begin to "cook" the fish)
• 5. Heat grill or heavy skillet to medium high heat, and brush lightly with oil
• 6. Remove fish from fridge and drain most of marinade off. Once grill is hot, transfer fish to it. If you are using filets, start with skin side up.
• 7. CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE TURNING FISH IF IT IS STUCK. IT WILL RELEASE FROM THE GRILL/SKILLET WHEN IT IS READY TO BE TURNED.
• 8. Cook about 3-5 minutes per side, turning only once. Be careful when turning fish, as it is very fragile and will come apart if you are not careful.
• 9. ALTERNATE: You can wrap marinated fish in foil and cook it on the grill or in the oven at 400º. If you choose this method, cook about 10 minutes until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Do not overcook or fish will be dry.

BAKED POMPANO

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, rice wine, 1 tablespoon olive oil, hoisin sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, and juice of 1/2 the lime together in a bowl.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir shallot and ginger until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Pour in soy sauce mixture; simmer until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Score both sides of the pompano in a crosshatch pattern. Pat dry with a paper towel. Season both sides and inside of the pompano with dill, salt, and pepper. Slice remaining 1/2 of the lime and arrange slices inside. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over pompano; rub over both sides.
• Layer cabbage leaves in the bottom of a large baking dish; place pompano on top. Pour soy sauce mixture over pompano. Cover baking dish with aluminum foil. Let marinate as oven preheats.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bake pompano in the preheated oven until fragrant, about 20 minutes. Remove aluminum foil; continue baking until pompano flakes easily with a fork, about 10 minutes more.
• Peel back skin and lift pompano flesh off the bones using a fork. Transfer to a serving plate.
