Grilled Fish Fillet

Whenever I grilled fish fillets, I always make sure to marinate it for at least 2 hours to enhance the taste. The longer I marinated it, the more it taste better. Here's one of my favorite way to grill fish fillets.

1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 tsp. cornstarch dissolve in 2 tbsp. water

Marinade:
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp. olive oil
3 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. garlic powder

Directions:
1. Combine marinade. Arrange fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour in the marinade over it.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
3. Drain and reserve marinade. Grill the fish over low-medium heat for 5-8 minutes each side. Transfer to a platter.
4. Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet, saute onions until tender, add the reserve marinade, corn kernels and cornstarch mixture. Cook over medium heat for few minutes.
5. Turn off heat and pour the mixture over the grilled fish fillets. Serve.

Topic: Fish
We had these small fishes (the one in the pic) at home which I didn't have too much ideas on how to cook with it, I tried to cook it in many variations already like, frying, stewing, sauteeing, paksiw, etc., so last night I wanted to cook it differently. The idea was derived from my Tuna Adobo in Coco cream that I posted few months ago. It is a combination of hot (pepper) and sour (vinegar) cooked in thick coconut milk.

Ingredients:
500 g fishes, cleaned
1/3 cup vinegar
2 stalks green onions, sliced
2 thum-sized ginger, crushed
1 ripe tomato, sliced thinly
3 cloves garlic, crushed
soy sauce to taste
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup thick coconut milk
long green pepper to taste
salt to taste
3 tbsp. cooking oil

Directions:
1. Soak fishes in vinegar for 10 minutes. Drain.
2. Heat oil in a pan, brown crushed garlic, then add green onion, tomato and ginger, cooked until tender.
3. Add fishes and all the remaining ingredients. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until done. Serve.
