Ingredients
  

  • 4 6-ounce white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Zest and juice of 2 limes
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lime wedges for serving

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, lime zest, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium heat. If using a skillet, add the olive oil.
  3. Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Discard the marinade.
  4. Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  5. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the chopped cilantro.
  6. Drizzle the garlic butter over the cooked fish and serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For added flavor, marinate the fish overnight for a more intense coconut-lime taste.
  • Substitute the white fish with shrimp or scallops for a different seafood experience.
