- * Note: Cooked Annatto Seeds - For one Tbsp. of seeds, instructions are to place the seeds in 1/2 c. water in a small pan. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 to 3 min, then remove from heat and leave the seeds overnight to soften. Alternatively, omit cooking and soaking and grind the seeds in a coffee grinder.
- Puree the annatto seeds and the liquid with the garlic and salt, then mix with the Spicy Mexican Marinade, adding the cinnamon and cloves.
- Rub the annatto-spice mix on both sides of the fish steaks. Place in a shallow dish and marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 min, or possibly in the refrigerator for up to 3 hrs.
- Prepare a charcoal fire or possibly preheat a gas grill. If using dry bay leaves, soak them in cool water till softened. Place the bay leaves on the coals to produce fragrant smoke.
- Remove the fish steaks from the marinade. Cook the steaks over medium-warm coals for about 5 min, till golden and cooked through on one side, then turn, using a large spatula, and cook the other side.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with minced onion, avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, and pickled chilies. Garnish with bay leaves and lemon wedges.
- Variation: Mayan Fish with Tropical Flavor - To serve, omit the diced vegetables. Drizzle unsweetened canned coconut lowfat milk over the warm fish and serve with diced banana and tomato and lime wedges.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: This traditional recipe, from the Caribbean shores of Mexico, dates back to Mayan times. A whole fish such as snapper, tilapia, or possibly bass may be used instead of the fish steaks or possibly fillets. Corn tortillas and black beans make delicious accompaniments.
