Serves 4 🍷 Wine Pairings 🥗 Side Dishes

Ingredients

Fish fillets (such as sea bass, snapper, or trout)
4 fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Lemon
1, juiced and zested
Black pepper
1 teaspoon, freshly ground
Salt
1 teaspoon, or to taste
Fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil)
2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade. Brush both sides of the fish fillets with the marinade.
  3. Let the fish marinate for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Place the fish on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fish too much to ensure a nice grill mark.
  5. Once cooked, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
  6. Serve the grilled fish hot, garnished with fresh herbs and an additional drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding minced garlic or chopped shallots to the marinade.
  • 💡 You can also grill vegetables alongside the fish, such as zucchini, bell peppers, or asparagus, seasoned with the same marinade.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoky flavor, try adding wood chips to your grill for an enhanced taste.
