One of the best parts of having a home in south Florida is acess to all the fresh sea food you could ever want. B and I love fishing, it was one of the first things we bonded over. I love just sitting outside with him and watching him cast. Sometimes I will throw a line in the water myself! We usually head down to the beach right befor sunset or sunrise when the fish are hungry and the views are incredibly beautiful. Ocean fishing is the most fun for us, because you really never know what you will catch! The other great passion of ours is cooking. So when we can combine the two it always makes for a great time. I am so lucky that B knows how to clean and fillet the fish. I have watched him do this process many times, but really have no interest in doing it myself. To be honest it kind of grosses me out!
Because you never really know what the catch of the day will be, it is important to have a recipe that is simple and versatile. With white fish especially, you can never go wrong with citrus flavors. The citrus juice also helps to cook the fish. For this recipe we used Hog Snapper, but have made it with many other types of fish as well. Even if you aren't into fishing, you can still use this method with any fish fillet you buy at the store or local fish market!
Ingredients
2 1lb Fish Fillets
4 lemons
4 limes
1 mango
1/2 Pineapple
Cooking Spray
Salt and Pepper
Foil
Instructions
Heat grill to 375 degrees F. Thinly slice three of the lemons and limes, and dice the mango and pineapple. Place fish on a greased sheet of foil. Lightly salt and pepper the fish, squeeze lemon and lime juice from remaining fruit directly onto the fish.
Cover the fillet with the cut fruit, and wrap it all up together in the foil.
Grill for approximately 15-22 minutes or until the internal temperature is 145 degrees F. Be sure not to over cook the fish. It should be flakey when gently pulled with a fork, not gummy.
Remove from heat, plate with the grilled fruit, and enjoy!
Suggested sides: Pasta, wild rice, grilled veggies, couscous, French fries.
