Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as halibut, snapper, or cod)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 Lemon, sliced
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create your marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring that each fillet is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors mingle.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are white-hot.
Step 4
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them on the grill.
Step 5
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Adjust cooking time according to the thickness of your fillets.
Step 6
While the fish is grilling, place a few lemon slices on the grill alongside the fish. These can be served alongside the fish for extra flavor.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to serving plates.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with grilled lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
