Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and paprika to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Step 3
Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse the fish.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are medium-hot and covered with ash.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them gently on the grill.
Step 7
Grill the fish fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled fish fillets with a wedge of lemon and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
