Ingredients
- 4 pieces fresh fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped fresh dill
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, melted butter
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. Zest the lemon and then cut it in half to juice one half. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, dill, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 1 hour.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Step 5
Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. For fillets that are about 1 inch thick, grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
While the fish is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Once the fish is cooked, gently brush each fillet with the melted butter.
Step 7
Serve the grilled lemon herb fish fillets hot, with additional lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your flavorful keto-friendly meal!
