Ingredients:

  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1.5 lbs amberjack fillets
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 lemon, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Pat the amberjack fillets completely dry with paper towels. Brush the marinade generously over both sides.
  3. Let the fish sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.
  4. Preheat your grill to high heat (approximately 400°F / 200°C). Clean the grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the fillets on the grill at a 45-degree angle.
  6. Sear the fillets, rotating 90 degrees halfway through to create cross-hatch grill marks.
