How to Make Tamari Lemon Marinade For Fish

  1. Finely chop 2 scallions and combine them with ¼ cup fresh lemon juice and ¼ cup tamari in a medium bowl.
  2. Place your fish (approximately 1-1.5 lbs) in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring it's fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the fish for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Baste with the remaining marinade during the last minute of grilling for extra flavor.
  5. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with extra scallions, if desired.
