Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) Fresh fish fillets (preferably firm varieties like cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Optional lemon or lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels. Set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure each fillet is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the fillets on the preheated grill.
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the grilled fish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve immediately with optional lemon or lime wedges on the side.
