Gather and measure dry spices.

Slice onion; peel garlic.

Squeeze orange and lime juice.


When I can not find the spice I need in the bulk bins I try to find it in small packages like this one for .79 cents!

This is the ground annatto seed needed for the marinade.

You can find this spice at a Latin grocery store.


Place all marinade ingredients into a blender.

Puree the ingredients together.



Pat fish dry and place into a baking dish.

Choose a firm white flesh fish like grouper, snapper, or sea bass.

I also highly recommend the larger tilapia filets which are fantastic in this recipe.






Pour marinade over the fish.

Be sure to spread it over the top and bottom of the fish.

Cover baking dish and place into the fridge.

Let fish marinade for 2 to 4 hours.



Remove fish from the baking dish.

Measure oil and find a small brush.





Cover a sheet pan with foil.

Lightly oil the pan.


Place fish onto the pan.

Brush remaining oil over the fish.



Turn oven broiler on high.

Place fish on a middle rack.

Broil fish for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on the size.

Tilapia take 8 minutes, grouper takes 12 minutes.

Check fish every few minutes to make sure it is not burning.





Remove fish from broiler.

Make a small cut into the thickest part of the fish; look inside to make sure it is cooked,

Place fish on a serving plate and garnish with tomato, avocado, red onion and radish-habanero salsa.
