Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lemon slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, olive oil, dill, parsley, minced garlic, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Slice the lemon into thin rounds and set aside.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated fish fillets onto the grill, skin side down if applicable.
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on the first side.
Carefully flip the fillets and continue grilling for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last minute of grilling, place the lemon slices on the grill to char slightly for enhanced flavor.
Remove the fish from the grill and garnish with the grilled lemon slices before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
