Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as tilapia, salmon, or cod)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-205°C).
2. Rinse the fish fillets under cool water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper.
4. Using a brush or your fingers, evenly coat each fish fillet with the olive oil mixture on both sides.
5. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. A paper towel dipped in oil and held with tongs works well for this.
6. Place the fish fillets carefully on the grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
7. Carefully flip the fish fillets using a thin spatula and grill the other side for another 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove from the grill and let the fish rest for a minute.
9. Serve the grilled fish fillets with lemon wedges on the side for an extra boost of flavor.
