Triggerfish with Pineapple Salsa

Recipe

  • 4 triggerfish fillets, skinless
  • ½ cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon pressed garlic
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Prepare Pineapple Salsa and chill.

For the fish marinade, in a small bowl combine orange juice, lime juice, honey, salt, pepper and garlic.

Place fish in a dish, cover with the marinade and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Remove from marinade.

Place the rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.

Brush fish with melted butter. Place fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray. Broil until golden brown and fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, about 8 minutes. Serve with Pineapple Salsa.
