Citrus-Marinated Grilled Fish Recipe

Mediterranean · Main course · 25 min total

Bright and tangy, this citrus-marinated grilled fish is a light and flavorful dish perfect for summer cookouts. The marinade tenderizes the fish while adding a zesty kick.

Ingredients

• 4 (6-ounce) white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or sea bass)
• 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or cilantro)

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt, pepper, oregano, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
2. Place fish fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the citrus marinade over the fish, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning once.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates.
4. Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard remaining marinade.
5. Grill fish for 4-5 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 145°F. Cooking time may vary depending on thickness.
6. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately.

Tips

• For best results, do not marinate longer than 30 minutes as the acid can start to cook the fish.
• If using a grill pan, cook over medium-high heat with a little oil.
• Pair with a side of grilled vegetables or a light salad.
