Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (firm, such as snapper, tilapia, or cod)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and place the fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Enjoy your barbecued spiced fish while it’s hot with a side of grilled vegetables, salad, or your favorite grains.
