Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., mahi-mahi, salmon, or cod)
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha. This will be your barbecue glaze.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with vegetable oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Carefully flip the fish and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last 2 minutes of cooking, generously brush the barbecue glaze onto the fish fillets, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
Remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish the cooked fish with thinly sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy your Pacific Rim Honey Barbecued Fish!
