Ingredients

Marinade

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon, lime, and orange juices with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir in cilantro and citrus zests.
Place grouper fillets in a shallow dish or sealable bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring even coverage. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Serving

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until opaque and flaky.
Remove from grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon slices before serving.

Storage

Place any leftover grouper in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in a microwave.
