Ingredients

• Fresh fish (sea bass or trout) - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh dill (chopped) - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. Clean and gut the fish, then rinse it under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade all over the fish, ensuring it is well coated inside and out. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the fish on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
