Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon, tilapia, or cod)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or additional olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for best results.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 204°C). If using a gas grill, make sure the grates are clean and lightly oil them with cooking spray or a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the fish from the marinade and allow any excess marinade to drip off before placing the fillets on the grill. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the fillets on the prepared grill. Cook the fish for 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the flesh is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Step 6
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Let the fish rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 7
Serve the grilled fish with additional fresh lemon wedges and a garnish of fresh herbs, if desired, for extra flavor.
