Grilled Fish
Ingredients:
- 4 fish fillets (such as salmon, trout, or tilapia)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh herbs (such as dill, parsley, or thyme), chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped herbs, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
- Marinate the Fish: Brush the fish fillets with the marinade on both sides. Place the fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, ensure the coals are hot and ashed over. For a gas grill, preheat for about 10 minutes.
- Grill the Fish: Place the marinated fish fillets on the grill grates. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Avoid moving the fish too much to prevent sticking.
- Serve: Remove the fish from the grill and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy your perfectly grilled fish!
Notes:
You can add additional spices or herbs to the marinade to suit your taste preferences. For a smoky flavor, try adding a bit of smoked paprika or a dash of liquid smoke to the marinade.
