Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, tilapia, or cod)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, sea salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Step 3
Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the fish fillets, making sure each fillet is well coated.
Step 4
Let the fish sit in the marinade for about 5-10 minutes while the grill heats up.
Step 5
Once the grill is ready, lightly oil the grates or use a grilling mat to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin-side down if applicable.
Step 7
Grill the fillets for about 4 minutes on one side, then gently flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
