Ingredients

• 4 pieces bluefish fillets
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 1 can non-stick grilling spray

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the bluefish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme leaves, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the bluefish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (205°C). Thoroughly clean the grates and spray them with non-stick grilling spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the bluefish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 4-6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh turns opaque.

Step 7

Gently flip the fillets using a wide spatula and cook for an additional 2-4 minutes on the other side, being careful not to overcook. The bluefish should flake easily with a fork.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the grilled bluefish to a serving platter and let them rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
