Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until the honey is completely dissolved and the mixture is well blended.
- Allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together. This brief resting period will help enhance the overall taste profile of the sauce.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a pinch of salt or an extra squeeze of lime juice to balance the flavors according to your preference.
- When your grilled fish is ready, drizzle the sauce evenly over the fish, ensuring good coverage. The sauce can be served warm or at room temperature.
- Garnish the fish with freshly chopped cilantro just before serving. The cilantro will add a bright, fresh note to the dish and complement the savory sauce.
- If not using immediately, store the sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Stir well before using.
Tips
- Use fresh ingredients: Always opt for fresh garlic and ginger for the most vibrant flavor profile.
- Room temperature ingredients: Allow ingredients to come to room temperature for better blending and more harmonious taste.
- Whisking technique: Whisk the sauce thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves completely and creates a smooth consistency.
- Flavor balancing: Taste and adjust the sauce before serving. Everyone's palate is different, so don't be afraid to add a little extra lime juice or honey.
- Garnish wisely: The chopped cilantro isn't just a decoration - it adds a fresh, bright note that complements the sauce's rich flavors.
- Make ahead: This sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator, making meal prep a breeze.
