Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. Zest and juice the lemons into a small bowl. You should have approximately 4 tablespoons of juice.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves finely and add to the bowl with the lemon zest and juice.
Step 3
Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill, then add them to the bowl.
Step 4
Add olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and whisk together until well combined.
Step 5
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes to maintain texture.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grill grates thoroughly using a grill brush.
Step 7
Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 9
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 10
Once cooked, remove the fillets from the grill and serve immediately with additional lemon wedges if desired.
