Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 5
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place them on the grill.
Step 6
Grill the fish fillets for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Step 7
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 8
Garnish with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
