How to grill fish in a frying pan
I have different methods of making my pan-grilled fish
3 METHODS OF MAKING PAN GRILLED FISH
- I make pan-grilled fish using foil to wrap the fish just like the method in the video posted below.
- My pan-grilled fish is sometimes grilled on a greased frypan without a foil.
- At other times, I place a metal rack on the hot frying pan and then place the fish on the rack to cook.
On this post, I have a recipe for the fish I grilled on a pan without using aluminium foil and the fish grilled in a pan wrapped in aluminium foil. The second recipe is in the video.

INGREDIENTS FOR THE PAN GRILLED FISH IN THE VIDEO ABOVE:
- I large croaker fish
- Garlic
- Ginger
- Onion
- Seasoning cubes
- Dried Chilli powder
- Black pepper
- Red bell pepper (tatashey)
- Green bell pepper
- Curry powder
- Thyme
- Salt to taste
- Soya oil
Check below for the ingredients on the pan-grilled fish cooked without foil.
Grilling fish that is wrapped with foil helps the fish and ingredients to cook well together. That way the flavours of the fish and the vegetables; like garlic, ginger and others all mix together to make the pan-grilled fish amazing.
While posting Omalicha serendipity dinner, the plate of served food got me craving. That evening, I tried to fix one for myself with only ingredients at home. I told myself that “if it turns out not tasting good, I’ll just keep it to myself”
Initially, there was no plan to share this here but the taste won’t let me forget. It turned out much more delicious than I’d expected, dinner that was meant to be for me alone became general dinner, more forks and spoons appeared to take from my one serving and we so rushed it. Would have posted this the following day sef but slow connection wahala.
Would have loved to add shrimps but the cost of that seafood in Abuja can be annoying sometimes.

COOKING STEPS FOR PAN GRILLED FISH DINNER
- First I washed the fish in clean water.
- Cut the stomach open and remove all entrails.
- Next, I rinse again opening up the gills and rinsing the head too under running water.
- I cut marks on the fish with a sharp knife.
- Rubbed garlic, ginger, and pepper on the cuts and entire fish including where the entrails were removed.
- I place the heavy base non-stick frypan on a stove and turn on the heat.
- Placed a lid on the pot and let it cook while I check frequently.
Next, the Fish is flipped with two spatulae, one at the fishtail and the other at the head. The fish head is flipped too and pressed down.
- Next, I added half a glass of water to the pan after fish is browned to enable it to make a sauce for my boiled rice.
- After adding water, I tasted, checked and added some salt.
- I placed the lid back on and let it cook through.
This tasty meal was quite fast and easy to make.
