How to Make Asian Honey Grilled Fish

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.
Place fish fillets in a resealable bag or shallow dish.
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.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill.
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).
Remove from grill and serve immediately. Garnish with extra chopped green onions or sesame seeds, if desired.
