Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Brush both sides of each fish fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.

While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Step 6
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Step 7
Drizzle the lemon herb sauce over the grilled fish fillets.
Step 8
Garnish each fillet with a lemon slice before serving.
Step 9
Serve the grilled fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
