GREEK GRILLED FISH

Greek Grilled Fish image

Great for summer grilling and one of our favorite recipes. For variety you may make this using a variety of Greek herbs and spices - I do! Like adding a grating of black pepper just before it's done. Note ... I have never used the optional bay leaves - when using my fresh from the garden thyme or the organic packet of fresh herbs from the market - I let it dry before using and have added - "but dry it first!"to the ingredient list.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 lbs fish fillets (I use salmon)
3 sprigs dried thyme (I use fresh when available ... but dry it first)
5 fresh rosemary sprigs (to taste)
8 large bay leaves (I have never used the bay leaves) (optional)
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt (to taste)
coarsely ground thyme (to taste, may sub with oregano)
olive oil, to brush grill
aluminum foil

Steps:

Rinse and pat dry.
Lightly salt both sides, set in a colander over a bowl refrigerate until ready to grill.
Fire up the grill - brush grill with olive oil to prevent sticking (a hand held grid makes turning easier).
If you wish to lay aluminium foil on the grill poke several holes through foil or make the base with the dried thyme, rosemary branches and bay leaves directly on grill, be sure to overlap so they cover a slightly bigger area then the fish.
In a small bowl combine the lemon juice and olive oil, brush fish with the mixture, sprinkle lightly with the coarse thyme or oregano - baste frequently with the lemon/olive oil mixture.
Cover the fish loosely with aluminium foil to keep moist.
Cook about 20 minutes or until fish flakes readily when prodded with a fork in the thickest part.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, wild-caught fish. Farmed fish can have a muddy flavor.
Choose a firm-fleshed fish that will hold up well on the grill. Some good options include sea bass, salmon, trout, and halibut.
Season the fish liberally with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic, thyme, oregano, or rosemary.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they're white-hot.
Grill the fish for 5-7 minutes per side, or until it's cooked through. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the grilled Greek fish with lemon wedges, grilled vegetables, and tzatziki sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled Greek fish is a healthy and delicious meal that's perfect for a summer cookout. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your fish mild or spicy, there's a Greek fish recipe out there for you.
