Ingredients

4 filets fish such as tilapia, grouper, walleye
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup pine nuts toasted

Tahini Sauce

¼ cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic minced
pinch cayenne
warm water to thin

Instructions

Preheat grill to high. Pat fish filets dry with paper towel to remove any excess moisture. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Use a pastry brush to make sure fish is evenly coated with oil and seasoned on both sides.
4 filets fish, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper
Once your grill has pre-heated, place the fish on the grill, reduce heat to low and close the lid. Cook for 7-10 minutes on one side(more or less depending on thickness of fish filet.) You'll know the fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, carefully toast pine nuts in a dry pan until toasted, about 6-8 minutes.
1/4 cup pine nuts
While pine nuts are baking, whisk the tahini sauce in a small bowl. Add the warm water 1-2 tablespoons at a time or until mixture becomes a nice saucy consistency.
1/4 cup tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 clove garlic, pinch cayenne, warm water
Once the fish is cooked, drizzle with tahini sauce and topwith toasted pine nuts and minced parsley. Serve with lemon wedges.
