Ingredients

4 tilapia fillets (about 6 oz each)
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
Place tilapia fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
Grill fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and additional fresh herbs if desired.

Tips

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
Leftover grilled tilapia can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
