Ingredients
- 1/2 cup orange juice not from concentrate
- lime juice of 1 large
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1 pound grouper (4 fillets)
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- cayenne pepper
- salt pinch
For the butter
- 2 tablespoons butter softened to room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon lime juice fresh
- salt pinch
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe dish, mix the orange juice, lime juice, and honey. Microwave for 10-20 seconds, until slightly warm to allow the honey to melt, and whisk again.
- Place the grouper into the marinade, flesh side down, and marinate for at least 4 hours (8 hours is best).
- Once marinated, preheat your grill to medium high.
- Take the grouper out of the marinade and rub with oil. Then, sprinkle with a pinch of cayenne pepper and salt.
- Grill the grouper, skin side down for 4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your fish. Mine was perfect at 9 minutes ,and it was about 3/4-inch thick. You want the internal temperature to be 145°F.
- While the grouper cooks, mix the butter, lime juice, and lime zest. Add a pinch of salt and stir.
- Spread the butter over the cooked fish.
- Serve hot off the grill!
