Ingredients:
– 4 fish fillets (any white fish works well, such as tilapia, mahi-mahi, or sea bass)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat grill: Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Prepare marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate fish: Place fish fillets in a shallow dish and brush the marinade on both sides of the fish. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
4. Grill fish: Remove fish from marinade and place on grill. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Optional glaze: If using white wine, brush it on the fish during the last minute of grilling.
6. Serve: Serve grilled fish hot, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh herbs, if desired.
Tips and Variations:
– Use any combination of herbs and spices to create your own unique flavor profile.
– Add a squeeze of fresh lime or orange juice for extra brightness.
– Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, quinoa, or rice.
– Experiment with different types of fish and adjust cooking time accordingly.
