- 1 small Red chili(finely chopped, seeds removed for less heat)

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Pat the parrotfish fillets dry with paper towels.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk together lime juice, minced garlic, chopped chili, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The skin should be slightly crispy.

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped coriander. Squeeze extra lime wedges over the fish if desired.
