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

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped parsley, dill, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
  3. 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.
  4. Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate the bluefish in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  5. Remove the bluefish from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
  6. Place the bluefish fillets directly on the preheated grill grates, skin-side down.
  7. 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.
  8. Once cooked, remove the bluefish from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
  9. Garnish with fresh herbs and lemon wedges.
  10. Serve the grilled bluefish immediately with your choice of seasonal vegetables and enjoy!
