Have you tried Ono? I hadn’t even heard of it until recently. This is an excellent fish. I am already planning what I will make with it next time. The texture was perfect, not at all mushy.
The flavor was very mild. Ono is considered a perfect fish for grilling, so we did just that. I grilled this along with some huge pattypans for dinner. They were great together.
Grilled Ono
Ingredients
- 3 large Ono fillets
- 1/4 cup light olive oil
- Juice from one large lemon approximately ¼ cup
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Place the fish in a gallon size ziploc bag or in an airtight container. Whisk the other ingredients together and then pour over Ono. Let it rest on the counter for about 15 minutes to marinate.
- Grill approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. The fish will continue to cook for another minute or two after it is removed from the heat. Be careful not to overcook it.

I used your recipe to good effect. Ono is also good with Dijon and lemon with salt. Ono in Hawaiian means ‘good’. Ono is sort for Ono Ono. Which you might guess means ‘very good.’. It’s a delicacy in Hawaii.

We no longer have a grill. But I used this recipe to pan sear the Ono (we’re in Hawai’i) in a cast iron skillet. My husband asked me to remember this recipe. Enough with the shoyu and honey!
Mary Younkin says
So glad you’re enjoying the Ono!

Your grilled ono recipe was perfect! I added a side of baby bella mushrooms, onions, and garlic sauteed in coconut amino acids which could also be put on the fish.

I’m so happy to hear that!
