Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp lemon zest, 1 tbsp orange zest, 1 tbsp each chopped fresh parsley, cilantro, basil, mint, thyme, and oregano, 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, whisking to create the octonary herb marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 white fish fillets (6 oz each) in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Remove fish from marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until the fish flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Transfer grilled fish to a serving platter and spoon any remaining herbs from the marinade over the top. Serve immediately with a fresh green salad or grilled vegetables.
