SPICY GRILLED FISH



Spicy Grilled Fish image

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy clean up! Winners in my book. I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish. When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinade it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead! This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating.

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 ounces catfish fillets or 24 ounces other mild fish
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped or 2 teaspoons ground ginger
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped, about 1 Tbsp
3 green onions, chopped, green and white parts
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste
lemon wedge (optional)
parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, minced onion, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir to mix well.
  • Place fish in a zipper seal bag and pour liquid mixture over it. Seal and marinate in the refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours.
  • Oil grill grate or fish basket really well and preheat grill to medium high. Grill fish for 4 minutes on each side. Flip the fish only once and brush with reserved marinade when flipped.

Categories     main-dish

Time P1DT30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup brown miso
2 tablespoons sriracha
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Four 8-ounce black cod fillets, skin on
Vegetable or canola oil, for the grill
3 limes, halved

Steps:

  • Set up your grill for medium heat.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the mirin, sake and sugar and bring to a simmer on the grill. Whisk until smooth and the sugar is dissolved. Remove from the grill and whisk in the miso, sriracha and rice vinegar. Cool.
  • Place the cod fillets into a zip-top bag. When the miso mixture has cooled, pour over the cod, seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 3 days. The longer fish marinates, the better.
  • Set up your grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Allow the temperature to reach 400 to 450°F.
  • Liberally grease the grates of your grill with the oil.
  • Remove the fish from the marinade and allow the excess to drain off.
  • Meanwhile, place the limes, cut-side down, onto the direct heat side of the grill and grill until charred, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the grill and set aside.
  • Place the fish, skin-side down, on the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is flaky and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Transfer the fish to a serving platter and squeeze 1 of the grilled limes all over the fish. Serve with the remaining grilled limes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Fish: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, halibut, or swordfish. These fish can withstand the high heat of the grill without falling apart.
  • Make a Flavorful Marinade: The marinade is what gives the fish its delicious flavor. Be sure to use fresh ingredients and let the fish marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Preheat the Grill: Before you start grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This will help to sear the fish and prevent it from sticking to the grates.
  • Grill the Fish: Once the grill is hot, place the fish fillets on the grates. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the fish, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve with a Simple Garnish: Once the fish is cooked, serve it immediately with a simple garnish such as fresh lime wedges, dill sprigs, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

This spicy lime and dill grilled fish recipe is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The marinade infuses the fish with a delicious citrusy flavor, while the grill gives it a slightly smoky flavor. The fish is cooked to perfection and is moist and tender. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or potatoes.
