Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.5 cup Red onion, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and minced garlic.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the olive oil mixture over them. Ensure the fillets are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and black pepper over the fish fillets.
Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In a medium bowl, mix the cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and sliced red onion.
Place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
Serve the grilled fish fillets topped with the tomato, olive, and onion mixture.
Garnish with additional parsley or lemon wedges, if desired.
