Grilled Stuffed Fish

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 4 6 – 8 ounce fish fillets
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Stuffing

  • 3 cups fresh spinach; washed dried and chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup fresh tomato diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • pinch or two salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Combine marinade ingredients. Pour over fish, cover and marinade for 1 to 4 hours. Remove fish from marinade and pour marinade into a saucepan. Simmer marinade over medium heat until liquid reduced by one-half.
  • Combine stuffing ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Cut a pocket into the fillets and stuff mixture into pockets. If desired, you can seal the pockets with toothpicks or you can be extra careful when grilling.
  • Rub stuffed fillets with olive oil and place on a medium-hot well-oiled barbecue grill. Cook for about 4 minutes per side or until just cooked. To serve, place fillets on plates and drizzle reduced marinade over.
