Method

Prepare the Marinade

  1. 1

    Mix the Marinade

    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Whisk together until well blended.

  2. 2

    Add Spice Mix

    In a separate bowl, mix chili powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Gradually add this spice mix to the marinade, stirring to combine.

Marinate the Yellowtail

  1. 3

    Coat the Fish

    Place the yellowtail fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the fish. Ensure each fillet is well-coated.

  2. 4

    Refrigerate

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Yellowtail

  1. 5

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the yellowtail from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish

    Once cooked, remove the yellowtail from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

  2. 8

    Plate and Serve

    Serve the spicy yellowtail hot, alongside your favorite sides or a fresh salad.
