Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 ounces each) White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 4 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest to create the marinade.
Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the lemon herb marinade over the fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and allow the excess marinade to drip off. Discard the leftover marinade.
Place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the grilled fish from the grill and transfer to a serving plate.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
