💡 Chef’s Tips
- For the best flavor, use the freshest fish available and let it come to room temperature before grilling.
- Don't overmarinate the fish, as the acidity in the lemon juice can start to cook the fish if left for too long.
- To add some color and extra nutrition to the dish, serve the grilled fish with a side of roasted or grilled vegetables like asparagus, bell peppers, or zucchini.
