Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, half of the chopped green onions, minced garlic, ground allspice, dried thyme, and dried ginger.
  2. Add fish steaks to the bowl, turning to coat evenly in the marinade.
  3. Let the fish marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning once halfway through.
  4. Remove fish from the marinade, reserving the liquid in the bowl.
  5. Arrange the fish steaks in a microwave-safe pie plate or shallow dish, placing thicker portions toward the outer edge.
  6. Cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap or a lid and microwave on High for 3 minutes.
  7. Rearrange the fish pieces if necessary and microwave on High for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  8. Let the fish stand, covered, for 3 minutes to finish cooking.
  9. Pour any accumulated juices from the cooking plate into the reserved marinade.
  10. Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter.
  11. Microwave the reserved marinade in a small microwave-safe measure or bowl on High for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until slightly thickened and bubbly.
  12. Spoon the warm marinade over the fish steaks.
  13. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped green onions and serve immediately.
