Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 tbsp lemon zest
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk first 4 ingredients together. Lay fish in a shallow baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Marinate the fish for just 5 minutes since citrus can cook fish. Makes enough for two fish steaks or fillets.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful marinade, use fresh lemon juice and zest. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to add a bit of zest to brighten the flavor.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours. This will give the marinade time to penetrate the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes. Just be sure to turn the chicken over halfway through the marinating time so that it is evenly coated.
  • If you want a more flavorful marinade, add a bit of minced garlic, ginger, or chili pepper. You can also add a tablespoon of honey or brown sugar to give the marinade a slightly sweet flavor.
  • Be sure to drain the marinade from the chicken before cooking. This will help prevent the chicken from becoming dry.

Conclusion:

Lemon cilantro marinade is a versatile and flavorful marinade that can be used on a variety of proteins. It's perfect for chicken, fish, and shrimp. The marinade is also great for vegetables. Try it on grilled or roasted vegetables for a delicious and healthy side dish.
