Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh thyme leaves, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
Step 4
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of each fish fillet.
Step 5
If desired, let the fillets marinate for about 5-10 minutes while the grill heats up to enhance the flavors.
Step 6
Oil the grill grates carefully with a brush or paper towel to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 7
Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill.
Step 8
Grill the fish fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the fish from the grill and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Step 10
Serve the grilled fish immediately, accompanied by your favorite low-sodium side dishes or a fresh salad.
