Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or halibut)
- 2 large lemon
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup fresh Italian parsley
- 0.25 cup fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by preparing the marinade. Zest and juice both lemons into a medium-sized bowl. You should have about 1/4 cup of lemon juice.
Add olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, and thyme to the bowl with the lemon juice and zest. Whisk together until well combined.
Season the marinade with salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly to integrate all flavors.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
While the fish marinates, prepare the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) and lightly coat the grates with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Once the grill is hot, remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Discard the remaining marinade.
Carefully place the marinated fish fillets on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the fish fillets from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two before serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables.
