Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean the grates well and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Pat the fish steaks dry with paper towels. This ensures a better sear and prevents the steaks from steaming.
Brush both sides of the fish steaks with the marinade using a brush or your hands, ensuring they are well-coated.
Let the fish steaks sit for about 5 minutes to allow the marinade to penetrate the fish slightly.
Place the fish steaks on the hot grill. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks, until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Avoid flipping the fish too often to maintain its structure.
Once cooked, remove the fish steaks from the grill and let them rest for a minute or two.
Sprinkle the fish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and a hint of freshness.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for extra zing. Pair with a salad or steamed veggies to keep the meal Whole30-compliant.
