Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Orange roughy fillets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 1 whole Lime
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Rinse the orange roughy fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Zest the lemon and lime, then juice both fruits into a small bowl. Reserve 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of lime zest for later use.
In a bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Cover the dish and let the fillets marinate in the refrigerator for 15–30 minutes.
Preheat the grill to medium heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly coat the grill grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the fillets from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the orange roughy fillets on the hot grill. Cook for 4–5 minutes on the first side, then carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 4–5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the grill and sprinkle them with the reserved lemon and lime zest for added freshness.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a light salad.
