Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces grouper fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates lightly with a paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.
Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the fillets with sea salt and black pepper evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the Oriental sauce. Set aside.
Place the grouper fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip using a wide spatula. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, pour the Oriental sauce into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it bubbles gently and thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
Once the grouper is cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Drizzle the warm Oriental sauce over the top.
Garnish the fish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables on the side.
