Orange-Chili Fish

Last revised:  23-Sep-07 08:34

How I cook is as important as what I cook.  I work only with fresh, natural ingredients.  We like our veggies whole, natural and fresh.  And that goes for fish as well.  This is a quick and easy recipe for a tasty fish meal for 4.

Ingredients:

• 1/2-cup fresh orange juice
• 1/2-cup cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 chipotle pepper, chopped
• 1-1/3 pound of thick fish fillets
• ground black pepper to taste

Combine the orange juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic and chipotle.  Place the fish in a non-reactive dish and cover with the marinade.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. 

Remove the fish from the marinade and place directly on the grill over medium heat.  Alternatively, for indoor cooking, put it on a plank or a rack set into a baking pan or on a broiling pan in a 450F oven for about 12 minutes per inch of thickness.

Enjoy!

NB:  This recipe also works well with pineapple juice/chunks
