1. Prep the Marinade: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended to create a flavorful marinade.
2. Marinate the Fish: Place the white fish fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the prepared marinade over the fish, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and let them marinate for 15-30 minutes to absorb all those delicious flavors.

5. Serve: Remove the grilled fish from the grill and transfer it to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an added touch of flavor and presentation. Enjoy your flavorful grilled white fish!
