Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (firm white fish like cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoons Fresh lime zest
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, ginger, garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, making sure each fillet is coated evenly. Cover the dish and allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat if pan-searing.
If baking: Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. Place the marinated fillets in the dish, discarding any excess marinade. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the fillets are opaque and flake easily with a fork.
If pan-searing: Heat a small amount of oil in the skillet. Sear the fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked fish to serving plates, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side. For a complete meal, pair with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
