Ingredients

• 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
• 1 whole Lemon
• 1 whole Lime
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Zest the lemon and lime, then juice both fruits into a small bowl. Reserve 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of lime zest for later use.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Place the fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Remove the fillets from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 7

Place the orange roughy fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the fillets from the grill and sprinkle them with the reserved lemon and lime zest for added freshness.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad.
