How to Make Citrus Honey Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Add your fish steaks or chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated.
Marinate for 15-30 minutes for chicken and 10-15 minutes for fish (shorter time for fish to prevent over-marinating).
Preheat your grill, broiler, or skillet to medium-high heat.
Cook your fish or chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The honey will caramelize, creating a delicious glaze.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
