What You’ll Need:
Rub:
1 teaspoon ancho chile pepper
1 Tablespoon ground cumin
1 Tablespoon garlic powder
1 Tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon paprika

1/ 2 teaspoon smoked or flaky sea salt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Clean and pat dry fish and place on large baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk all dry ingredients together. Then, whisk olive oil and lime juice separately. Brush olive oil mixture over fish, then add rub.
Leave marinade in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Heat grill on medium – you can place fish on soaked cedar plank or place directly on oiled grill grates. Grill fish for 15 – 20 minutes with lid down.

In small bowl, whisk all ingredients together and put aside or in refrigerator until ready to serve.
You’ll also need:
