Ingredients

• 4 pieces grouper fillets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grates lightly with a paper towel dipped in olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking.

Step 2

Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle the fillets with sea salt and black pepper evenly.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, and lemon juice to create the Oriental sauce. Set aside.

Step 4

Place the grouper fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip using a wide spatula. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the fish is grilling, pour the Oriental sauce into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until it bubbles gently and thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 6

Once the grouper is cooked, transfer the fillets to a serving platter. Drizzle the warm Oriental sauce over the top.

Step 7

Garnish the fish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables on the side.
