Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
  • 1 large Garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels.

Step 3

Brush both sides of the fish fillets with olive oil and season with black pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes. Add water to thin it slightly if needed for a saucy consistency.

Step 5

Place the 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

Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 7

Spoon the lemon herb sauce over the grilled fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
