Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Skinless fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or sole)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush both sides of each fish fillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Mix well.
Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Drizzle the lemon herb sauce over the grilled fish fillets.
Garnish each fillet with a lemon slice before serving.
Serve the grilled fish with a side of steamed vegetables or a mixed green salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
