Instructions
Step 1
Gather the ingredients.Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, ketchup, chopped parsley or cilantro, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and red pepper flakes.Step 3
Place fish in a shallow baking dish and pour marinade over top. Using tongs, turn shark steaks to coat well. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.Step 4
Heat a grill to medium-high heat. Right before placing fish on grill, oil grill grates using a pair of outdoor cooking tongs and folded paper towels soaked with oil. Make about 3 to 4 passes across the grates to ensure a nonstick cooking surface. This is important when grilling fish since it tends to fall apart if conditions are not quite right.Step 5
Remove fish from marinade, reserving marinade. Place fish on preheated grill and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until fish reaches an internal temperature of 145 F and flakes easily when tested with a fork.Step 6
Meanwhile, pour marinade into a saucepan and bring to a high simmer for 2 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat and cover to keep sauce warm.Step 7
Once fish is cooked, remove shark steaks from grill and serve with sauce and your choice of sides.
