Ingredients

  • 4 tilapia fillets
  • 3 limes, juiced and zested
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, lime zest, grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, and olive oil to make the marinade.
  2. Season the tilapia fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in a shallow dish.
  3. Pour the marinade over the tilapia, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  5. Remove the tilapia from the marinade and shake off any excess. Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
  6. Transfer the grilled tilapia to a serving platter and garnish with additional lime slices and fresh cilantro, if desired.
