Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh grouper fillets
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 0.25 cup lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 piece mango, diced
• 1 piece red bell pepper, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
• 1 piece jalapeno, minced (optional)
• 1 piece lime, cut into wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pat the grouper fillets dry with paper towels and generously brush both sides with the citrus marinade. Reserve a small amount of marinade for brushing during grilling.

Step 4

Place the grouper fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Brush with the reserved marinade as they cook.

Step 5

While the fish is grilling, prepare the tropical salsa. In a medium bowl, combine the diced mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno (if using). Mix well and set aside.

Step 6

Remove the grouper from the grill and let it rest for a minute.

Step 7

Serve the grilled grouper fillets topped with the tropical mango salsa and lime wedges on the side. Enjoy your Taste of Florida!
