Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450 g) Monk Fish fillets
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Olive oil
  • Juice of 1 Lime (about 2 tablespoons, 30 ml)
  • 2 teaspoons Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger, grated
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (150 g) Pineapple, diced
  • ½ Red bell pepper, diced
  • ¼ Red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño, minced (optional for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) Cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1 Lime (about 2 tablespoons, 30 ml)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Place monk fish fillets in the marinade and let them sit for at least 20 minutes.
  2. While the fish is marinating, combine diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, lime juice, and salt in a mixing bowl. Toss to combine thoroughly and set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Transfer the marinated monk fish to a baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork (internal temperature should register at 145°F / 63°C).
  5. Plate the baked monk fish and generously top with tropical salsa before serving.
