Grilled Fish

Grilled Fish is a quintessential Lebanese dish that celebrates fresh flavors and simple preparation. Marinated in aromatic spices and grilled to perfection, it offers a delightful and healthy lunch option rich in protein.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g. sea bass) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
