Tequila Lime Fish Marinade Recipe


Tequila Lime Fish Marinade Recipe
This is the simplest and most tasty recipe I've found for marinating rather dull white fish fillets, giving them some zip and flavor. Most people can't guess what the flavor combination is, but all love it.

Ingredients
  • 4 large mild white fish fillets
  • Marinade:
  • 1/2 cup lime juice (fresh is best)
  • 2 TBS Tequila
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 to 1 tsp. Tabasco, depending on your preferred heat level
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander (Mexican parsley)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Salt, pepper and paprika to taste

Directions
  1. Whiz all ingredients for marinade together in blender or food processor until well blended.
  2. Spread fillets in a large flat pan in a single layer, or (my preferred method) place them in a large Ziplock bag.
  3. Pour over the marinade, making sure all surfaces are coated evenly. Seal the bag or cover the pan with clear wrap, and chill for from 1 to 3 hours.
  4. When ready to cook, preheat broiler and grease broiler pan.
  5. Place fish about 6-8 inches from heat source and broil, basting with remaining marinade, for about 5 minutes each side or until fish flakes. Could be less time or more, depending on the thickness of your fillets.
  6. Heat remaining marinade through in the microwave and serve it drizzled as a sauce over the broiled fish.
  7. Good with parslied or herbed rice and julienne carrots.
