Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Fresh parsley
1 tablespoon, finely chopped
Paprika
1 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/2 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons, freshly squeezed
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Fish fillets
4 (6-ounce) fillets

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grill grates to prevent the fish from sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. This will be your marinade.
  3. Brush the fish fillets generously on both sides with the marinade. Let them sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Place the fish on the preheated grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
  5. Remove the fish from the grill and sprinkle each fillet with the finely chopped fresh parsley.
  6. Serve the grilled fish hot. For a complete meal, pair it with a side salad or steamed vegetables, and a glass of white wine.

Tips

  • 💡 Choose fresh, high-quality fish fillets for the best flavor and texture. Some great options include salmon, mahi-mahi, or halibut.
  • 💡 Avoid over-marinating the fish as the acid in the lemon juice can start to cook it, altering its texture. Approximately 15-20 minutes is sufficient.
  • 💡 Make sure the grill is properly heated before adding the fish. This helps to sear the outside of the fish, locking in the juices.
