- 1⁄4 cup lemon juice
- 1⁄4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped or 2 teaspoons ground ginger

directions
- Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, green onions, minced onion, paprika and cayenne pepper and stir to mix well.
- Place fish in a zipper seal bag and pour liquid mixture over it. Seal and marinate in the refrigerate for about 1 to 2 hours.
- Oil grill grate or fish basket really well and preheat grill to medium high. Grill fish for 4 minutes on each side. Flip the fish only once and brush with reserved marinade when flipped.
- NOTE: Fish is completely cooked when the color turns from translucent to opaque (white) or has reached a 150 degree F internal temperature. Resist the temptation to over-cook fish until it "flakes," which indicates the fish is becoming dry.

Mmmm, yummy fish! I have a hard time getting my DH to eat fish, but he loved this one! I used whitefish fillets and lime juice instead of lemon. It marinated for about 30 mins because I was in a hurry, but they came out so moist and flavorful.That's probably why they weren't so red in the pic. Also, I used my cast iron skillet and not the grill on a rainy day. Thank you mama! Made for Bevy Tag.
