Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, pepper, lemon zest, and paprika to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
Cover the dish or seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to infuse the fish.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, make sure the coals are medium-hot and covered with ash.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them gently on the grill.
Grill the fish fillets for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Remove the fish from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled fish fillets with a wedge of lemon and garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
