Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon, tilapia, or cod)
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon slices
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Step 4
Once the grill is hot, remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Step 5
Grill the fish for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 6
During the last minute of grilling, place lemon slices on the grill. This step is optional but enhances the presentation and adds a touch of grilled citrus flavor.
Step 7
Remove the fish and lemon slices from the grill. Serve immediately, garnished with the grilled lemon slices for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation.
