Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fresh 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

  1. Mix the marinade and pour over the fish. Marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Cook the fish on the grill over hot coals with the skin side down.
  3. Cook for 5-10 minutes depending on desired firmness (cook longer for firmer fish). Before flipping, brush with olive oil to prevent the fish from sticking to the grill.
  4. Flip the fish over and peel away the skin.
  5. Continue cooking for 3 minutes. Before removing from the flame, flip the fish to get grill marks on the side the skin was on.
  6. Remove fish from the grill. Serve on a bed of lettuce for a salad or on masked cauliflower with grilled veggies.
