Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh Italian parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the marinade. Zest and juice both lemons into a medium-sized bowl. You should have about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
Step 2
Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, and thyme to the bowl with the lemon juice and zest. Whisk together until well combined.
Step 3
Season the marinade with salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to integrate all flavors.
Step 4
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Step 5
While the fish marinates, prepare the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 7
Carefully place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
