Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to create a marinade.
Step 2
Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Step 5
Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be gentle when flipping to prevent the fillets from breaking.
Step 6
Once cooked, transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
