\u2013 1 tablespoon soy sauce
\u2013 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
\u2013 Salt and pepper to taste<\/p>\n\n\n\n

**For the Sauce:**
\u2013 3 cloves garlic, minced

\u2013 2 tablespoons fish sauce
\u2013 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
\u2013 1 tablespoon soy sauce

1. **Prepare the Fish:**
\u2013 Season the fish fillets with soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
