Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon, tilapia, or cod)
- 4 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Lemon slices
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, 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. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
Once the grill is hot, remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the grill. Discard any remaining marinade.
Grill the fish for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness, until the fish is opaque and easily flakes with a fork.
During the last minute of grilling, place lemon slices on the grill. This step is optional but enhances the presentation and adds a touch of grilled citrus flavor.
Remove the fish and lemon slices from the grill. Serve immediately, garnished with the grilled lemon slices for extra flavor and a beautiful presentation.
