Bantian Demon Grilled Fish has a long history in China, dating back thousands of years to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Back at that time, people began to grill fish over fire, and it was believed that eating grilled fish could ward off evil spirits and increase the health of the body. Over time, grilled fish gradually spread, and different cooking techniques and unique flavors developed in various places. For example, grilled fish in Sichuan cuisine is known for its spicy flavor, grilled fish in Guangdong is more light and delicious, and grilled fish in Hunan is known for its spicy and delicious taste.
There are many ways to make grilled fish, but the most classic is to steam and then grill it. Use fresh fish, such as carp, bream, tilapia, etc., and remove the internal organs after slaughtering. Sprinkle the belly of the fish with an appropriate amount of salt, then cut several diagonal cuts to increase the flavor induction. The fish is then steamed with an appropriate amount of salt, cooking wine, and ginger, and after steaming, the fish is removed for later use.
Place the baking sheet in the oven or over an open flame and heat the baking sheet to the proper temperature. Spread a layer of cooking oil on a baking sheet, then place the steamed fish on the baking sheet and brush with a layer of marinated grilled fish sauce. Grilled fish sauce is usually made from a mixture of coriander, chili, garlic, bean paste and other seasonings, which not only enhances the flavor of the fish, but also prevents the fish from turning black. Spread the grilled fish sauce evenly over the fish and spread the sauce evenly with a brush. Place the baking tray in the preheated oven or place the baking sheet over an open flame and bake slowly over low heat. During the grilling process, the grilled fish should be constantly turned over to ensure that the fish body is evenly heated, and at the same time, pay attention to the mastery of the heat to prevent the fish from being too mushy or too raw, so as to maintain the tender taste of the fish.
The time and temperature at which the fish is grilled can be adjusted according to the size of the fish and individual tastes. Generally, small fish need to be grilled for 10-15 minutes, while larger fish will take 20-30 minutes. The best temperature for grilling fish is 180-200 degrees Celsius, and the fish can be grilled until it is just flavored.
When the fish is fully cooked, take out the baking tray and sprinkle with an appropriate amount of green vegetables such as chives and coriander to garnish the fish to enhance the beauty of the fish. Finally, the grilled fish is placed on the table, and the steaming fish meat exudes an enticing aroma that will appeal to the appetite.
When tasting grilled fish, you can directly use chopsticks or knives and forks to peel off the fish and eat it, and at the same time, you can match the fish with brown sugar, garlic, salt and other seasonings to enhance the taste of the fish. The meat of the grilled fish is tender and delicious, and there is a certain elasticity between the meats, which makes the fish delicious and fragrant through a unique roasting method.
