Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or snapper)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for greasing the grill)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, fresh thyme leaves, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the fish from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 5

Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 7

Garnish with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired. Serve immediately.
