For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the marinade. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables, such as zucchini or yellow squash. If you don't have grouper, tilapia or snapper are excellent substitutes. A squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving brightens the flavors even more. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness.

Step

Prepare the Marinade: Arrange the grouper fillets in a shallow dish. Drizzle with fresh lime juice, and season generously with sea salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Ensure the fillets are well-coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
8 hrs
Marinate the Fish: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight (8 hours), allowing the flavors to meld and the fish to tenderize. (Marinating time: 1-8 hours)
03
Step
5 mins
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil to trap moisture and ensure even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The exact baking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets. (Bake time: 45-60 minutes)
