Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 large Garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh basil, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels.
Brush both sides of the fish fillets with olive oil and season with black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, chopped basil, and red pepper flakes. Add water to thin it slightly if needed for a saucy consistency.
Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Spoon the lemon herb sauce over the grilled fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
