Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or salmon)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Stir in the chopped parsley to add a fresh, herby flavor to the marinade.
Step 3
Place the fish fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
Step 4
Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes but no longer than 2 hours. This prevents the acid in the marinade from breaking down the fish too much.
Step 5
Preheat your grill, oven, or stovetop skillet to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking surface to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Cook the marinated fish for about 3-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
