Ingredients
- 500 grams Fish fillets (firm white fish like cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 small amount Cooking spray (for grill grates)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut the fillets into bite-sized pieces, approximately 2-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well blended to create the marinade.
Step 3
Add the fish pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Thread the marinated fish pieces onto skewers if desired, or leave them loose for direct grilling.
Step 6
Place the fish pieces on the preheated grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the fish tender.
Step 7
Once cooked, transfer the fish pieces to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
