Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 piece Zest of lemon
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates with some olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Use this mixture to brush both sides of the fish fillets.
Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for approximately 4-6 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, fresh parsley, dill, basil, lemon zest, and capers. Mix well.
Once the fish is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Spoon the lemon herb sauce over the grilled fish.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
