Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large ziplock bag, add the lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, lemon pepper, olive oil, garlic powder and cayenne. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the fish to the ziplock bag and move it around, being sure to coat it with the marinade. Allow to sit for 2 hours - no more than 2 hours though or the acid in the lemon will effect the fish texture.

Step 3

Pre-heat grill to medium-high heat. Season the fish with more salt and lemon pepper. I use a fish grilling basket when I make this or any fish on the grill if you don't have a basket spray the grates thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray and then place the fish onto the grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side (may be more or less depending on the thickness of the fish, fish doesn't tak very long to cook be sure not to over-cook it because it will dry out quickly, keep a close eye on it, as soon as it is opaque in the middle take it off the heat right away.

Step 4

Squeeze remaining lemon wedges over the fish before eating.

We enjoyed this fish using tilapia, but skipping the cayenne pepper. I also used a grilling tray for the fish and the timing was perfect. Thanks for sharing!

Such a refreshing fish dish and we have had it a couple of times. It is so easy and quick to prepare which is a plus when you are hungry after working a long day. I have added this to my regular rotation! We love it.

I made this using tuna and had rice pilaf to go with it and Kittencal's coleslaw as a side. It was delicious tasting fish with fresh flavors and it was a surefire hit with me and my friend. I quickly added this to my list of new favorite fish recipes and I will have it lots of times more!

I had a thick fresh piece of tuna to cook and decided to make this. It came out better than I anticipated and we loved it! An extra squirt of lemon at serving time was all it needed before we dug in. Delicious!
