Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (firm, such as snapper, tilapia, or cod)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the fish marinate for 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 4

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Step 7

Enjoy your barbecued spiced fish while it’s hot with a side of grilled vegetables, salad, or your favorite grains.
