Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, snapper, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets in a shallow dish.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the dish and let the fish marinate for 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Step 4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
Step 7
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor. Pair with a keto-friendly side dish, such as cauliflower rice or a simple green salad.
