Ingredients:

- 4 fish fillets (such as tilapia or snapper)

- 3 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

- Juice of 2 limes

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon paprika

- 1 teaspoon ground cumin

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, olive oil, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Marinate the Fish: Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash.

Grill the Fish: Remove the fish from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the fillets on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Serve: Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables.

Enjoy your flavorful Pwason Griye!
