1
Prepare the Paddlefish
Rinse the paddlefish fillet under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut into portion-sized pieces if desired.
2
Make the Marinade
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3
Marinate the Fish
Place the paddlefish in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Preheat the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become gray ash before cooking.
5
Grill the Paddlefish
Remove the paddlefish from the marinade and place it directly on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

6
Plate the Dish
Once grilled, remove the paddlefish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh dill if desired.
