Ingredients

Scale

Fish Marinade:

  • 2 tuna filets (can substitute with salmon or mahi mahi, depending on what fish your Walmart stocks)
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro diced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • olive oil (to brush on fish while on the grill)

Instructions
