Ingredients

• 4 fillets fresh fish fillets (such as salmon, mahi-mahi, or cod)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 wedges lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in a shallow dish.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Pour the marinade evenly over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let the fish marinate for 10-15 minutes while you prepare the grill.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Once cooked, transfer the fish to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of flavor.

Step 7

Enjoy your Paleo Spicy Grilled Fish with a side of grilled vegetables or a refreshing salad for a complete meal.
