Ingredients
- 4 filets fish (such as tilapia, grouper, walleye)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ¼ cup pine nuts (toasted )
Tahini Sauce
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- pinch cayenne pepper
- water to thin, warm
Instructions
- Preheat grill to high. Pat fish filets dry with paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to make sure fish is evenly coated with oil and seasoned on both sides.
- Once your grill has pre-heated, place the fish on the grill, reduce heat to low and close the lid. Cook for 7-10 minutes on one side(more or less depending on thickness of fish filet.) You'll know the fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
- While the fish is grilling, carefully toast pine nuts in a dry pan until toasted, about 6-8 minutes.
- While pine nuts are baking, whisk the tahini sauce in a small bowl. Add the warm water 1-2 tablespoons at a time or until mixture becomes a nice saucy consistency.
- Once the fish is cooked, drizzle with tahini sauce and topwith toasted pine nuts and minced parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
