Grilled Fish with Coconut Marinade

This tropical-inspired grilled fish is juicy, fragrant, and packed with flavor—thanks to a creamy coconut marinade that caramelizes beautifully on the grill.

Ingredients:

2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes (no longer, or the lime juice will toughen the fish).
3. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush the grates with 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
4. Remove the fish from the marinade (let excess drip off) and grill for 4–5 minutes per side, until lightly charred and opaque in the center.

The coconut marinade creates a subtly sweet, tangy crust that locks in moisture—perfect for summer cookouts or a quick weeknight escape to the tropics.

Tip: For extra flavor, baste the fish with leftover marinade during the first 2 minutes of grilling (discard any unused marinade after).
