Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces white fish fillet (such as tilapia, cod, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole fresh lemon slices
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F to 450°F).
2. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
4. Brush the mixture generously over both sides of the fish fillets.
5. Once the grill is hot, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
6. Place the fish fillets on the grill. Let them cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side without moving them to develop nice grill marks.
7. Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and continue to grill for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two.
9. Serve the grilled fish with fresh lemon slices and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
10. Enjoy your high protein, flavorful, and healthy grilled fish!
