Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Clean the grates thoroughly and lightly coat them with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Rinse the tilapia fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them on a large plate or tray.

Step 3

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, fresh parsley, fresh dill, fresh thyme, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create the marinade.

Step 4

Brush the marinade over both sides of each tilapia fillet, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let the fillets rest at room temperature for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 5

While the fish marinates, prepare the grill by ensuring the grates are fully preheated and lightly greased.

Step 6

Place the tilapia fillets directly on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Be gentle when flipping to prevent tearing.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the tilapia from the grill and place them on a serving platter.

Step 8

Garnish the grilled tilapia with additional fresh herbs if desired and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
