Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (but no longer than 1 hour).
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve the grilled fish immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
