Ingredients

• 4 fillets fresh fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or salmon)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 lemon lemon slices

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, parsley, dill, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk to fully incorporate the marinade ingredients.

Step 2

Place the fish fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.

Step 3

Refrigerate the marinating fish for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing the excess marinade to drip off. Discard the used marinade.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

For additional flavor, place lemon slices directly on the grill alongside the fish during the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

Carefully remove the fish and grilled lemon slices from the grill.

Step 9

Serve the grilled fish immediately with grilled lemon slices on top for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
