Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh grouper fillets
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 0.25 cup lime juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 piece mango, diced
- 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece jalapeno, minced (optional)
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels and generously brush both sides with the citrus marinade. Reserve a small amount of marinade for brushing during grilling.
Place the grouper fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Brush with the reserved marinade as they cook.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the tropical salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno (if using). Mix well and set aside.
Remove the grouper from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
Serve the grilled grouper fillets topped with the tropical mango salsa and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Taste of Florida!
