Instructions

Step 1: Combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl to make the Asian citrus glaze. Set aside.
Step 2: Pat dry the 1 whole Gulf fish (about 1.5 lbs) and season inside and out with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Brush both sides with 2 tbsp vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Place the fish on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, brushing generously with the prepared glaze during the last 4 minutes of grilling until the fish is opaque and flakes easily.
Step 4: Remove the fish from the grill and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro over the top before serving for a fresh herbal note.
