Preparation

Step 1

Place the fish fillets in a non-aluminum container and season lightly with salt. In a food processor, combine the onion, ginger, cilantro, garlic, chili, lime zest, pepper, lime juice and olive oil. Using on-off pulses, pulse until a paste forms. Rub the paste evenly over both sides of each fish fillet. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or for up to 4 hours.

Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Season the fish fillets with salt again. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan. Grill the fish, turning once, until opaque throughout when pierced with a knife, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Transfer to warmed individual plates. Serve immediately with lime wedges, if desired.
