  • To marinate, blend the allspice, garlic, onion, oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a blender. Blend for three minutes and set aside.
  • Make some diagonal cuts that are not too deep in the mojarra and bathe it with the previous preparation; let it marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Then coat the mojarra with flour on both sides and set aside.
  • In a saucepan, heat the oil, fry the garlic, and once it's ready, remove it; do the same with the guajillo chili. Then fry the mojarra in that same oil for 15 minutes, making sure to baste it well with the oil. Remove and place on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
  • Serve accompanied by lettuce, fried garlic and guajillo chili, slices of orange and lemon.
