Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Fish fillet (salmon, swordfish, or mahi mahi)
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 4 wedges Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, lime juice, sesame oil, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours. Do not marinate for longer than 2 hours to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade by transferring it to a small saucepan.
Grill the fish for 4-6 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking.
While the fish is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil on the stovetop. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a glaze.
Once the fish is done, brush the cooked glaze over the fillets for added flavor.
Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro (if using) and serve with lime wedges on the side.
