Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as salmon, trout, or mahi-mahi)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag.
Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare coals to have a medium-hot heat.
Oil the grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and place them on the grill. Discard any leftover marinade.
Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
