Ingredients
- 2 pounds bluefish fillets
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 lemon wedges, for serving
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the bluefish fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure each fillet is fully coated with the marinade.
- Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate the bluefish in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the bluefish from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
- Place the bluefish fillets directly on the preheated grill grates, skin-side down.
- Grill the bluefish for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook the fish, as it can become dry.
- Once cooked, remove the bluefish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
- Serve the grilled bluefish immediately with your choice of seasonal vegetables and enjoy!
