Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as sea bream or snapper) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon wedges - for serving

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the fish fillets to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.

4. Remove the fish from the marinade and place it 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. Once cooked, transfer the fish to a serving platter, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
