Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 ounces each) White fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the fish fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (but no longer than 1 hour).

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Remove the fish from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.

Step 6

Place the fish fillets on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Carefully remove the fish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Serve the grilled fish immediately with fresh lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
