Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or salmon)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 whole Zest of one lemon
- 1 tablespoon Capers (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is grilling, prepare the lemon herb sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon zest, and capers if using.
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 generously.
Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete low-carb meal.
