Grilled Tilapia with Garlic Tamari Mushrooms
Ingredients
Tilapia
- 4 tilapia fillets
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Garlic Tamari Mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups button mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 1/4 cup cilantro fresh, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
Instructions
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
- Lay each of the fish filets on a piece of foil large enough to wrap them in (or wrap 2 filets) and brush with the olive oil. Drizzle the lime juice over the fillets and season with the salt and pepper.
- Lay the foil packets on the hot grill and grill until cooked through, about 10 minutes, turning the packet about halfway through.
- While the fish is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the sesame oil, garlic, and mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the tamari and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated.
- To serve, top the grilled fish with the mushrooms, and garnish with the cilantro and fennel seeds.
