How to Make Lainie's Wahoo Marinade

  1. Preheat grill to high heat for 10 minutes. Lightly spray grill grates with nonstick cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
  2. In a blender, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Blend until completely smooth and emulsified.
  4. Brush both sides of the wahoo fillets generously with the marinade. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (longer is better!).
  5. Place marinated fillets on the preheated grill.
  6. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste with additional marinade during grilling.
  7. Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the fish and/or serve alongside the delicious pasta made with the leftover sauce!
  9. **Pasta Tip:** For the pasta, simply toss cooked angel hair pasta with the remaining marinade and garnish with parmesan cheese (optional).
