POISSON YASSA (FISH YASSA)



Poisson Yassa (Fish Yassa) image

This is a traditional Senegalese recipe. It would take an ichthyologist to determine exactly what kind of fish are used to make this dish in Africa, and those fish may not be available elsewhere. Select any firm-fleshed fish that won't fall apart on the grill. Tilapia and Salmon work well.

Time 9m

Yield 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup peanut oil (or any cooking oil)
4 onions, cut up
8 tablespoons lemon juice
1 bay leaf
4 minced garlic cloves
8 tablespoons vinegar (cider vinegar is good) (optional)

cayenne pepper or red pepper, black pepper, salt to taste
1 large whole fish (or several small fish whole, filleted, or cut into serving-sized pieces)

Steps:

  • If using whole fish:.
  • Cut several slits in the side of the fish to allow it to better marinate.
  • In a glass bowl or baking pan mix all ingredients (except the fish) to make a marinade.

  • Remove fish from the marinade, but save the marinade.
  • Cook according to one of the following methods.
  • Cooking method 1: Cook fish over an outdoor grill (or broil fish in a hot oven) until done. If grilling: a hinged wire basket made for holding fish on the grill is very useful.

  • While fish is cooking: Pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a slow boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the marinade thickens into a sauce.
  • Place the fish over cooked rice on a serving dish and cover with sauce.
