Grilled Pompano

Grilled Pompano is a delicious dish that anyone can prepare. Aside from tasting fresh and delicious, I like grilled pompano because it does not require a lot of ingredients and it is simple to prepare.

I used black pompano for this recipe. Since pompano is quite fatty, it is a good candidate for grilling. I made a few incisions on both sides of the fish so that it will absorb the salt and cook faster. It also helps me determine if the fish is already cooked through.

I love to eat grilled pompano with rice. It will be better if the fish and rice are served in banana leaves – just like what we used to do in the Philippines. Sometimes it is possible if I am able to grab hold of frozen banana leaves. Yes, even banana leaves are bought frozen here in Chicago. At this time, I do not need any banana leaves. The grilled pompano itself is more than enough.
