Fishing
A great grilled recipe. If grouper is not available use shark, mahi-mahi,
amberjack, sea bass or any firm fleshed fish. Terrific when served with
grilled corn and margaritas. "
2 pounds 1 inch thick grouper fillets
1/3 cup tequila
1/2 cup triple sec liqueur
3/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons light olive oil
3 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 pinch white sugar
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
ground black pepper to taste
Place fish in a large, shallow dish. In a small mixing bowl combine tequila,
Triple Sec, lime juice, salt, garlic and olive oil. Pour mixture over fillets,
and rub into fish. Cover fish and marinate at room temperature for 1/2 hour,
turning the fillets once.
Heat the grill to a high heat.
In a medium size mixing bowl combine tomatoes, onions, chilies, cilantro,
sugar and salt to taste.
Remove fillets from marinade and pat dry. Reserve marinade. Brush the fillets
with oil and ground black pepper.
Grill fillets for approximately 4 minutes per side.
While the fillets are grilling, boil the marinade in a medium size saucepan
for 2 minutes. Remove garlic cloves. Spoon marinade and tomato mixture over the
fish just before serving.
