  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 fish spatula or tongs

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets white fish (such as cod, tilapia, or halibut) About 1.5 lbs total.
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • to taste lemon wedges For serving (optional).
  • to taste fresh parsley For garnish (optional).

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
  • Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over the top. Ensure that the fish is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).
  • Remove the fish from the marinade and gently shake off any excess. Place the fillets skin-side down on the grill.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.
  • Carefully transfer the grilled fish to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
  • Be attentive while grilling, as cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish fillets.
  • If using skin-on fish, grilling skin-side down first will help keep the fish together and enhance its flavor.
  • You can also experiment with different herbs and spices for the marinade to customize the flavor to your liking. Enjoy your grilled fish with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
