Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a wood-fired grill or charcoal grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Pat dry 4 gulf fish fillets (6 oz each) and brush both sides with 2 tbsp vegetable oil. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly.
Step 2: Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has light grill marks.
Step 3: While the fish grills, combine 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp chopped fresh mint, 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes in a small bowl. Stir to make a vibrant herb sauce.
Step 4: Remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Spoon the herb sauce over the grilled fish immediately to infuse fresh Asian flavors.
