Tropical Fish

I was looking around on the Weight Watchers website for different recipes again, and I came across a recipe called Tropical Chicken. It was a delicious sounding marinade that they used for both chicken and sweet potatoes. I thought it would be great on fish as well, so I decided to try it out. My fish of choice this particular night was orange roughy.

Tropical Fish (4 servings at 2 points a piece)

3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1.5 Tbsp ginger root, fresh, minced
3 Tbsp apricot preserves
3 Tbsp soy sauce
12 oz Orange Roughy

Preheat grill.

In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger, preserves and soy sauce. Add fish to the marinade, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours, turning fish occasionally.

Grill fish until cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.

If you want to grill sweet potatoes using the marinade as well, just make a double batch of the marinade and reserve half of it. Use 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Grill the sweet potato slices until tender, about 8 minutes, brushing with the reserved marinade as they cook. A cup of sweet potatoes is the serving size.

The marinade smelled terrific and made my whole house smell great. I really like the sweet and tangy taste the marinade gave to the fish. You could also use this marinade on chicken, pork, or any other thicker fish.
