Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh fish fillets (such as salmon, trout, or cod)
- 0.25 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 whole lemon, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, parsley, dill, garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the grill. Reserve the marinade.
Step 7
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, until the fish easily flakes with a fork.
Step 8
While grilling, brush the reserved marinade onto the fish occasionally to enhance flavor.
Step 9
During the last minute, place lemon slices on top of the fish fillets or grill them alongside for added flavor.
Step 10
Once done, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute.
Step 11
Serve the grilled fish hot, garnished with the grilled lemon slices.
