Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are ashed over but still hot.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dill, parsley, salt, black pepper, and paprika to make the marinade.
Pat the fish steaks dry with a paper towel to ensure they grill nicely, then place them in a shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the fish steaks, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
After marinating, remove the fish steaks from the marinade, letting excess drip off but ensuring some marinade remains on the steaks for flavor.
Lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking by dipping a cloth or paper towel in a little oil, then using tongs to rub it over the grates.
Place the fish steaks on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks. The fish is done when it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the fish moist.
Serve the grilled fish steaks immediately with your choice of sides such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
