SPICY GRILLED FISH

Spicy Grilled Fish image

This is a really tasty, economical and different way to enjoy fish! Lots of flavor from the marinade and easy clean up! Winners in my book. I am sure this would work very well on any firm, mild fish. When I made this I was a little crunched in the time department so I only got to marinade it for 1 hour and it was delicious. Plan ahead! This is best marinated for at least an hour but no more than 2 hours. In a pinch, just let it marinate while the grill is heating.

GRILLED FISH TACOS WITH CHIPOTLE-LIME DRESSING

Grilled Fish Tacos with Chipotle-Lime Dressing image

I came up with this recipe when I couldn't find good directions for grilled fish tacos. I liked the chipotle-lime combination in a dip I once tried so I imitated it here. Choose toppings to suit your taste, or include typical accompaniments such as salsa fresca, cabbage, a squeeze of lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

Tips:

Choose the right fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, tuna, or swordfish are best. They can withstand the heat of the grill without falling apart.
Make sure the fish is fresh: Always buy fish from a reputable source and check that it is fresh before cooking. Fresh fish should have a mild, briny smell and no signs of spoilage.
Cut the fish into evenly sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for pieces that are about 1-inch thick.
Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during cooking.
Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
Cook the fish until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork: This is the best way to ensure that the fish is cooked through without overcooking it.
Serve the fish immediately: Grilled fish is best enjoyed hot off the grill. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.

Conclusion:

Spicy grilled fish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following these tips, you can make grilled fish that is flavorful, moist, and perfectly cooked. So fire up your grill and get cooking!
