Ingredients

• Fresh fish (such as tilapia or trout) - 400 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh ginger, grated - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon

• Cilantro, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Begin by cleaning the fish and patting it dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Place the fish in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Ensure the fish is well-coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
