Simple & Flavorful Grilled Fish Recipe 🐟🔥

Grilling fish brings out its natural flavors and creates a light, flaky, and delicious meal. This easy recipe with a zesty marinade works well with a variety of fish – perfect for summer barbecues or any time you crave fresh, grilled flavor!

🍽️ Ingredients:

4 fish fillets (such as salmon, tilapia, or sea bass)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika (optional, for added color)
Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill) for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

🔥 Instructions:

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika. This marinade brings out the fish’s natural flavors without overpowering it.
Marinate the Fish: Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes. Avoid over-marinating to keep the fish tender.
Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grates to prevent sticking. Make sure it’s hot before adding the fish for those nice grill marks!
Grill the Fish: Place the fish on the grill, skin-side down if it has skin. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Flip carefully once; the fish is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve & Garnish: Remove the fish from the grill and garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges. Serve hot with a side of grilled vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

🍋 Tip: For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the marinade. You can also try this recipe with a variety of spices like cumin or cayenne if you’re craving a little heat!
