Ingredients
- 2 fillets of fresh white fish (like sea bass or snapper)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. This isn’t rocket science, so get it right! Taste it; it should be bold and zesty.
- Marinate the Fish: Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Make sure every inch of that fish is coated! Cover it and let it marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. If you can’t wait, fine, at least give it 10 minutes!
- Preheat the Grill: Get your grill fired up! You want it hot, around medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill pan, make sure it’s sizzling before you add the fish.
- Grill the Fish: Remove the fish from the marinade and shake off the excess. Place it on the grill. Don’t overcrowd the grill; give it space! Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. You want it to flake easily but not be mushy!
- Check for Doneness: If you need to poke it, do it gently! You’re looking for that perfect opaque color. If it’s still translucent, give it another minute or two.
- Serve: Once done, remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Plate it up, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
There you have it, a stunning Mediterranean grilled fish that’s bursting with flavor and ready to impress. Serve it with a side salad or some grilled veggies, and you’re set! Get cooking, and make it count!
