Finadeni is a classic dish from Guam that is popular across the Pacific Islands. It is a simple yet flavorful marinade made from just four ingredients: soy sauce, lemon juice, green onions, and red pepper flakes. Finadeni is a versatile marinade that can be used on all types of fish, as well as chicken and beef. It adds a bold and zesty flavor to the meat, making it a popular choice for grilling or broiling. Whether you're looking for an easy weeknight meal or something special to serve at a dinner party, Finadeni is sure to impress.

Instructions

1.	In a medium-sized bowl, stir together the soy sauce, lemon juice, green onions, and red pepper flakes until they are well combined.
2.	Place the fish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it, making sure that all pieces are well coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, but preferably overnight, for the best flavor.
3.	Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
4.	Grill or broil the fish until it is cooked through, which should take around 3-5 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the fish.
5.	Serve with steamed rice and enjoy!
