Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 large Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 8 pieces Fresh lemon slices
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, ground black pepper, lemon zest, and paprika to prepare the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each fillet is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, but no more than 2 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.
Place the fish fillets on the grill and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last minute of grilling, add the lemon slices to the grill to warm them up and lightly char them.
Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter and top each fillet with the grilled lemon slices.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or steamed vegetables, for a complete and nutritious meal.
