Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon (juice and zest)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, juice and zest of the lemon, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, ensuring each piece is well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors infuse.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the grilled lemon herb fish fillets hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
