Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place them on the grill.
Grill the fish fillets for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Serve immediately.
