Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or tilapia)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or oil for grill
• 4 optional Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F).

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Brush both sides of each fish fillet generously with the lemon dill marinade. Reserve some marinade for basting during cooking.

Step 5

Lightly grease the grill grates with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving them to allow the grill marks to form.

Step 7

Carefully flip the fish fillets using a spatula, then brush them with the reserved marinade. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the grilled fish with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus if desired.
