Preparation

Step 1

1. Warm your grill or start your coals.

2. Mix the Dipping Sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

3. Mix the Marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl and set aside.

4. Place the fish on a foil covered sheet pan. Score 3 diagonal cuts 1 ½ inches apart along the length of fish from head to tail on both sides.

5. Drizzle 3 tablespoons or more of marinade over fish, covering both sides, in cuts and in underside cavity.
