2 lbs of white fish fillets, can use cod, halibut, rockfish, mahi mahi, etc
¼ cup of naranja agria or sour orange juice, from 1 fruit (can replace with a mix of half fresh orange juice and half lime juice)
½ tablespoon of oil
1 teaspoon of sour orange zest (or regular orange zest)
1 teaspoon of ground chipotle powder, or your favorite chili powder, adjust to taste - use paprika for non-spicy variation
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon of whole cumin seeds
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon salt
Tortillas or tostadas
Citrus habanero salsa
Homemade guacamole or avocado slices
Latin style rice
Fried ripe plantains
Cebollas encurtidas or lime pickled red onions

Steps:

Mix the dry spices and seasonings with the sour orange juice and oil.
Rub the fish fillets with the citrus marinade and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Pre-heat the grill, for the indoor grill, I usually heat it to max/searing temperature.
Grill the fish to desired doneness. The exact time will vary based on your grill and the thickness of the fish fillets. For the indoor grill, it usually takes 5-6 minutes for the fish to be cooked but still moist.
Serve the grilled citrus fish with your choice of toppings and side dishes.
