Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp red chili flakes until combined and fragrant.
- Step 2: Season 4 gulf fish fillets (6 oz each) with salt and black pepper on both sides, then brush lightly with 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 3: Preheat a wood-fired grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Place the fish fillets skin-side down and grill for 4 minutes.
