Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (any white fish like tilapia, cod, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons lemon, juiced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon, sliced for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to make 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 to allow the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and place them directly onto the grill.
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest on a plate for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled fish warm, garnished with lemon slices and additional fresh herbs if desired.
