Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or halibut)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 4 wedges Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped parsley, thyme, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, and up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates using cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Place the fish fillets on the hot grill.
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled fish immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
