Choose the right fish: For this recipe, firm-fleshed fish such as salmon, tuna, or swordfish are best. They can withstand the heat of the grill without falling apart.
Marinate the fish: Marinating the fish in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse it with flavor and keep it moist during grilling.
Grill the fish over a medium heat: This will help to cook the fish evenly without burning it.
Baste the fish with the marinade while grilling: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful.
Serve the fish immediately: Grilled fish is best served hot off the grill, with a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
