Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut)
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon lemon slices
Instructions
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each fillet is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting during grilling.
Place the fish fillets on the hot grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last couple of minutes, add the lemon slices to the grill to char slightly, adding flavor.
Remove the fish and lemon slices from the grill. Serve the fish garnished with the grilled lemon slices and additional fresh herbs, if desired.
