Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets
- 2 whole lemon
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade. Zest and juice the lemons, keeping them separate. In a medium bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Step 2
Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, but no more than 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, place the coals to one side for direct heat cooking.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 5
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the fish directly on the grill over direct heat.
Step 6
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
During the last minute of grilling, place the lemon slices on the grill alongside the fish just until they have light grill marks.
Step 8
Remove fish and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the grilled white fish topped with the grilled lemon slices and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
