Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Brush both sides of each fish fillet with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Step 5
Slice the lemon in half and cut one half into thin slices. Juice the other half and set aside.
Step 6
Once the grill is hot, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Step 7
Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin side down if applicable, and grill for 4-5 minutes.
Step 8
Carefully flip the fillets and place a slice of lemon on top of each one. Grill for an additional 3-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the fillets from the grill and transfer them to a platter.
Step 10
Squeeze the reserved lemon juice over the grilled fish.
Step 11
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
