Fish and Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper. Add the fish fillets and coat them well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are evenly distributed. For a gas grill, simply turn it on to the desired temperature.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess liquid drip off. Place the fish fillets on the grill grates. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid flipping the fish too often to maintain its integrity.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Once cooked, carefully remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired.
