Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh fish fillets (such as sea bass, snapper, or cod)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 whole lemon
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 cloves fresh garlic
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, juice of half of the lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the olive oil marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the grill.

Step 4

Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Slice the remaining half of the lemon into wedges and set aside for serving.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

While the fish is grilling, halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred but still firm.

Step 8

Remove the fish and tomatoes from the grill. Serve the fish hot with grilled cherry tomatoes on the side, garnished with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
