Chef Yotam Dolev of Hamsa in Houston turns to this versatile fish marinade to prepare fish before grilling and use as a dipping sauce for fried fish. For a marinade, blend until it creates a loose paste, and resist the urge to rinse it off before placing the fish on the grill. For use as a dipping sauce, he recommends ramping up the amount of garlic and leaving the end product a little chunky.
