Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add the Fish

    Place the fish fillets in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes.

  2. 4

    Grill the Fish

    Remove the fish from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 5

    Add Parsley

    During the last minute of cooking, sprinkle the chopped parsley over the fish for added flavor.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Fish

    Carefully transfer the grilled fish to serving plates. Garnish with additional parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
