Rub this marinade all over the stingray. Leave for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Grill It Up<\/strong><br \/>\nOn gas stove, heat up the grill pan on medium-high. Oil the fish, grill 4-5 mins per side. In a microwave, wrap the fish in damp paper towel anicrowave on high for 4-5 mins per side. Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C). Place fish on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 mins or until cooked through. Or if you have an outdoor grill,\u00a0place the marinated mackerels directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish are cooked through and have a nice char.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The Magic Sambal Sauce<\/strong><br \/>\nTo make sambal sauce, blend together 10 red chilli peppers (adjust to taste), 3 cloves of garlic, 2 shallots, 1 tablespoon of tamarind paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and salt to taste until smooth. Heat oil in a pan, add the blended mixture, and cook until fragrant. Cool before serving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Brush The Sauce<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the last few minutes of grilling, brush the fish with sambal sauce on both sides. This will add an extra layer of flavour and spice to the dish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Serve It Up<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce the\u00a0mackerel pieces\u00a0are nicely grilled and have developed a beautiful char, remove them from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of colour. Serve hot with steamed rice and extra sambal sauce on the side for dipping.
