Ingredients

• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons honey
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 4 pieces halibut or salmon fillets

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, black pepper, and salt until fully combined.

Step 2

Place the halibut or salmon fillets into a glass or ceramic dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the fillets, ensuring the fish is evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes. Do not marinate for longer than 30 minutes, as the citrus can begin to break down the fish texture.

Step 4

While the fish marinates, preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (around 375°F or 190°C). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 5

Remove the fillets from the marinade and allow the excess to drip off. Discard the marinade that was in contact with the fish to prevent cross-contamination.

Step 6

Grill or bake the fish for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh green salad.
