Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon or cod)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow the fish to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no more than 30 minutes to avoid over-marinating.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, then place the fillets on the preheated grill.
Step 6
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your fillets, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter and garnish with additional fresh herbs, if desired.
Step 8
Serve the fish fillets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
