Grilled Fish with Lemon and Herbs
Ingredients List:
- Four fillets of white fish (cod, sole, tilapia, or any other mildly flavored fish)
- Two tsp olive oil
- One lemon's juice and zest
- two minced garlic cloves
- 1 tsp dried thyme (fresh thyme can also be used)
- One tsp dried oregano (fresh oregano also works well)
- To taste, add salt and pepper.
- slices of lemon for serving
- Chop some fresh parsley for garnish.
Step By Step Guidelines:
1. Grill Preparation:
- Set your grill's temperature to medium-high.
2. Get the marinade ready:
- Combine the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, and salt & pepper in a small bowl.
3. Discolor the Fish:
- Use paper towels to pat dry the fish fillets.
- Apply the marinade to both sides of each fillet, making sure they are thoroughly covered. To allow the flavors to seep in, let them marinade for at least 15 to 30 minutes.
4. Take a Fish to Grill:
- To keep the grill grates from sticking, oil them.
- Arrange the fish fillets that have been marinated on the heating grill.
- Cook the fish on the grill for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and flake easily with a fork. The thickness of the fillets will determine how long they take to cook.
5. Dispense:
- Move the grilled fish to a dish for serving.
- Serve with lemon wedges on the side and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
6. Additional Lemon Butter Sauce is an optional addition.
- To add a touch more richness, before serving, melt some butter in a skillet, add a little more lemon juice, and sprinkle it over the grilled fish.
7. Adjacent Ideas:
- Accompany the grilled fish with your preferred sides, including rice, a crisp salad, or steamed veggies.
