Recipe: Fish Marinade (lemon, lime, ginger and sesame oil)

FISH MARINADE

"Here's a recipe for fish marinade I use frequently. The recipe calls for both olive oil and sesame oil, but you can cut them down or eliminate them if you wish. I've found I can cut them drastically without changing the flavor of the marinate too much, but if I eliminate them completely, it's not quite the same. A matter of taste I expect."

1 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. lime juice
2 tsp. sesame oil
1 tbsp. Mirin (rice wine)
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce
2 tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes

This will marinate quite a bit of fish. It can be halved easily. It will also store in the fridge for a bit. The pepper flakes give the fish a nice spicy flavor.

TO USE:
"Marinate your fish for 1-3 hours. If you don't want such a strong flavor, you can use this to baste while cooking instead. But marinating tastes better.

This works very well with swordfish, shark, mahi-mahi, monk fish, and I think we've tried a couple others. Just as long as the fish is grillable not too strong flavored. My guess is that salmon wouldn't taste quite as good with this."
