Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (e.g., salmon, cod, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the lemon herb marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a large resealable plastic bag.
Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
Grill the fish for 4 to 5 minutes on each 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 few minutes before serving.
Serve the grilled fish with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
