Crafting the Culinary Delight:

- In a little mixing bowl, mingle together the olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Stir it well, ensuring the paprika is completely dissolved.
- Lay those Terakihi fillets in a shallow dish and pour that zesty-spicy marinade over them. Let them soak in the goodness for about 5 minutes on each side.
- Fire up your grill or stovetop pan. Once it’s hot, lay the fillets on, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the Terakihi boasts a golden hue.
- Plate it up and, if you like, give it one more drizzle of fresh lemon juice right before serving.
Sprinkling in Some Tips:
- Always opt for fresh Terakihi; the taste difference is notable.
- If you’re a fan of extra spice, adjust the paprika as per your liking. Maybe even toss in a pinch of chili flakes!
