Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil for grill
- 4 optional Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F).
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush both sides of each fish fillet generously with the lemon dill marinade. Reserve some marinade for basting during cooking.
Lightly grease the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to allow the grill marks to form.
Carefully flip the fish fillets using a spatula, then brush them with the reserved marinade. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled fish with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus if desired.
