- 1.5 lbs Grouper fillets
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 medium Ripe papaya

- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 small Jalapeño
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 0.25 tsp Salt
How to make Tropical Grilled Grouper with Papaya-Lime Salsa
- Pat the 1.5 lbs grouper fillets dry thoroughly with paper towels. This helps achieve a nice sear and prevents steaming on the grill.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 0.5 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp black pepper. Rub the grouper fillets evenly with 2 tbsp olive oil, then generously coat them with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Prepare the papaya-lime salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced 1 medium ripe papaya, 0.25 cup finely diced red onion, 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, and 1 small minced jalapeño (if using).
- Add 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice and 0.25 tsp salt to the salsa ingredients. Gently toss to combine, then set aside to allow the flavors to meld while the fish cooks.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400-450°F). Clean the grill grates thoroughly with a wire brush and lightly oil them to prevent the fish from sticking.
- Place the seasoned grouper fillets directly on the hot, oiled grill grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness, with the grill lid closed to maintain heat.
- Carefully flip the fillets using a wide, thin spatula. Continue grilling for another 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Transfer the grilled grouper fillets to a serving platter. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Spoon a generous amount of the prepared papaya-lime salsa over each grouper fillet before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
