Ingredients

Kingklip fillets (4 (6-ounce) fillets)
Olive oil (1/4 cup)
Lemon juice (3 tablespoons, freshly squeezed)
Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
Fresh parsley (1/4 cup, chopped)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Lemon wedges (for serving)
Extra parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Place the kingklip fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Allow the fillets to marinate for at least 15-30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Once marinated, remove the fillets from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
Carefully place the fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Transfer the grilled kingklip to a serving platter, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and garnish with additional parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
