Ingredients

• 4 fillets white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0 non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest. Stir well to combine and create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Lightly grease the grill grates using non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off back into the dish. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the white fish fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, without moving them, until they have grill marks and are easy to lift.

Step 7

Gently flip the fish fillets using a spatula. Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the grilled white fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 9

Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
