Cooking Methods

Heat a ridged stovetop grill over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and lightly spray with vegetable oil spray. If using an outdoor grill, lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable oil spray. Preheat the grill on medium high.

In a small bowl, stir together the oil, gingerroot, orange zest, orange juice, thyme, pepper, and salt.

Rinse the fish and pat dry with paper towels. Brush the oil mixture over the flesh side of the fish.

Grill the fish with the flesh side down for 3 minutes. Turn over and grill for 1 to 3 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

To serve, remove the skin. Place the fish on plates. Sprinkle the almonds over each fillet.
