Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine tamari, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the minced garlic, honey, grated ginger, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Whisk again to fully incorporate the flavors.
Place the fish filets (such as salmon, cod, or halibut) in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to allow the fish to absorb the flavors. Avoid marinating for longer than 30 minutes, as the acid from the lemon juice can begin to break down the texture of the fish.
Remove the fish from the marinade and cook it using your preferred method (grilling, baking, or pan-searing). Discard any leftover marinade.
Serve the cooked fish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired, and enjoy!
