Lemon Garlic Fish is a vibrant Lebanese BBQ dish that combines the freshness of lemon with aromatic garlic, perfectly complementing the delicate flavors of the fish. Grilled to perfection, this dish offers a delightful taste of Mediterranean cuisine that is both healthy and gluten-free.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., tilapia or cod) - 300 grams
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Fresh lemon juice - 60 ml
• Olive oil - 30 ml
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated fish fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Remove the fish from the grill and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
