Step 1
Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp sambal oelek, and 3 tbsp water until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3
Grill the fish for 3-4 minutes per side, until it flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat.
Step 4
Serve the fish on a bed of lettuce leaves, drizzle generously with the peanut sauce, and garnish with cucumber slices and fresh cilantro if you have them.
