Coconut Lime Grilled Fish
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 fillets of white fish (such as tilapia or cod)
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- Zest and juice of 2 limes
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup coconut milk, zest and juice of 2 limes, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the coconut lime marinade over them. Turn the fillets to coat them evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with 2 tablespoons of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve the grilled fish hot, garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
Coconut Lime Grilled Fish is a tropical delight that originated in the Caribbean, where the abundance of fresh seafood and exotic flavors inspired this vibrant dish. Renowned chefs like Marcus Samuelsson and Yotam Ottolenghi have put their own spin on this recipe, infusing it with their unique culinary expertise. The dish has gained popularity in coastal regions worldwide, with restaurants in Hawaii and Thailand perfecting the art of grilling fish with a tantalizing blend of coconut and lime. The key to mastering this dish lies in the balance of creamy coconut and zesty lime, which infuse the fish with a burst of tropical flavors. For an alternative method, some chefs marinate the fish in a coconut lime sauce before grilling, enhancing its succulence and aroma. Today, the best versions of this dish can be savored in beachside eateries, where the freshest catch meets the perfect blend of coconut and lime.
