vinha d'alhos

Explanation:
Compare The American Heritage definition of "marinade":
"A liquid mixture, usually of vinegar or wine and oil with various spices and herbs, in which meat, fowl, fish, and vegetables are soaked before cooking."
with Aurélio's definition of "vinha d'alhos":
Espécie de molho feito com vinagre (ou mais raramente vinho), alho, cebola, louro, etc., no qual se põem carnes, peixes, aves, etc., durante algum tempo a fim de impregná-los de tempero, antes de irem ao fogo; MARINADA.
Quite close, right? Please observe that you can use MARINADA just as well.

Grading comment

Thanks very much. I think I will use *marinada*, as vinho d'alhos is very specific, and this is chutney that they recommend being used to marinade things, so I don't think it really fits.

Thanks you all for your help.

marinados

Explanation:
Geralmente é um adjetivo, como em carnes marinadas, mas nunca ouvi falar de molho marinado, se é o que você queria usar. O peixe é deixado de molho, ou é deixado marinar, e fica um peixe marinado.

No seu caso, você poderia usar pratos marinados, ou usar só marinados, como substantivo, legitimado pela excelente referência culinária que é o site abaixo.
