Grilled Orange Roughy Margarita Recipe
Ingredients:
1.5 lbs of fish fillets (Orange Roughy)
1/2 c of Triple sec
1/3 c of Tequila (white or gold)
3/4 c lime juice (freshly squeezed)
1 Tbsp of Jalapeno or Serrano chili pepper; minced
1 Tbsp of oil (vegetable); divided
1 tsp of salt
3 pcs of medium sized tomatoes; diced
2 Tbsps of fresh cilantro; chopped
1 onion (white); finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic; crushed
Freshly cracked black pepper
a dash of sugar
Instructions:
Place fillets inside a transparent baking pan so that all fillets are in singular layer. Mix all the liquor with the oil, salt and garlic. Add the lime.
Pour mixture over fillets, making sure to rub juices by hand. Cover with plastic cling wrap for an hour (room temperature) or inside the fridge for no more than 3 hours. Turn fillets occasionally to distribute marinade evenly.
Before fillets are served, toss in tomatoes, Jalapenos (or Serrano chili), and the cilantro. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar. Put a bit of pepper according to your liking.
Grill fish over high heat for 4 minutes on each side, making sure to grease grill generously. Do not throw marinade. Place marinate in sauce-pan and let boil for a minute or 2.
Sieve the garlic then discard. Baste marinade on fish when cooked. Serve with tomato salsa on the side.
