Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions

  • Mince the garlic and finely grate the ginger after peeling.
  • I like mincing the garlic with a knife but if you want it even smaller to it dissolves more into the sauce use the smallest holes on a box grater or a zester.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine all ingredients and stir to combine. Use immediately.
  • You can easily double this recipe if you are planning to marinate more than one pound of fish.

Notes

  • You can substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos or tamari, espeically if you are avoiding gluten.
  • Rice vinegar is best but you could also use white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar if that’s what you have on hand.
  • Sriracha is great for adding a little heat but a good substitute is 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
  • Fresh garlic and ginger is best but if you find buying it only for this recipe (so a very small amount) a problem you can use 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder and powdered ginger instead.
  • If you want to add sweetness include 1/2 teaspoon of honey or brown sugar.
