Ingredients for Asian Honey Grilled Fish

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • White Onion
  • Lime, Juice Of
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • Garlic Cloves
  • Fresh Jalapeno Pepper
  • Fresh Ginger

How to Make Asian Honey Grilled Fish

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1-2 finely minced jalapeno peppers (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 tablespoon grated ginger.
  2. Place fish fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 5 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
  7. Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
