To prepare lionfish, you will need to follow these steps:
1. Start by cleaning the lionfish thoroughly. Remove the scales, fins, and entrails. Be careful when handling the fish as lionfish have venomous spines.
2. Cut the lionfish into fillets. You can do this by cutting along the backbone and then removing the fillets from the fish.
3. Marinate the lionfish fillets in a mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper for about 30 minutes.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add some oil. Once the oil is hot, add the lionfish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Serve the lionfish fillets with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, vegetables, or a salad.
6. Enjoy your delicious and sustainable lionfish meal!
