Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts or fish fillets (e.g., salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional for color)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) for baking or preheat the grill to medium-high heat for grilling.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts or fish fillets dry with paper towels and set aside.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using).
Step 4
Brush the herb mixture generously over both sides of the chicken or fish.
Step 5
For baking: Arrange the chicken or fish in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) or the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
For grilling: Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the chicken or fish directly on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
Step 7
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a crisp salad.
