📝 Description

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy...

🥘 Ingredients

Servings:

Original: 4

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)

📋 Instructions

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.
NOTE: Fish is completely cooked when the color turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached a 150 degree F internal temperature. Resist the temptation to over-cook fish until it "flakes," which indicates the fish is becoming dry.
