Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (any white fish like tilapia, cod, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon, sliced for garnish
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and place them directly onto the grill.
Step 5
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 6
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
Step 7
Serve the grilled fish warm, garnished with lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
