- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tbsp Ginger
- 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
- 1Prepare the 4 whole Milkfish by cleaning and gutting them. Make a few shallow cuts on both sides of each fish.
- 2In a medium bowl, combine the 1/4 cup Calamansi Juice, 4 cloves minced Garlic, 1 tbsp grated Ginger, 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos, 1/2 tsp Black Pepper, and 1/2 tsp Salt. Stir well to combine.
- 3Place the cleaned milkfish into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each fish is coated, then let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- 4Preheat your grill to medium heat, aiming for a temperature between about 175°C and about 205°C (175°C to 200°C).
- 5Lightly brush the grill grates with 2 tbsp Olive Oil to prevent sticking.
- 6Carefully place the marinated milkfish onto the preheated grill. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 63°C.
- 7Remove the grilled milkfish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving hot.
