Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon, sliced
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fish, ensuring that all pieces are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but no longer than 30 minutes to avoid over-marinating.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side.
Carefully flip the fish fillets using a wide spatula and cook for another 3-5 minutes on the other side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh lemon slices for additional flavor.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad, and enjoy your low fat grilled lemon herb fish fillets.
