Ingredients
Scale
- 2 haddock filets (6 ounces each).
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil.
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning.
- 1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning.
- Fresh herbs (thyme, oregano, and basil).
- Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: Mix lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and seasonings in a bowl. Add chopped fresh herbs to the mixture.
- Marinate the Fish: Put haddock in a large bowl or plastic storage bag. Add the marinade over the fish. Let it sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour maximum.
- Prepare Your Grill: Heat the grill to 500°F. Make sure to oil the grates really well to prevent sticking.
- Prepare for Grilling: Take the fish out of marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Add extra lemon pepper if you like.
- Grill the Haddock: Set filets on the hot grill over direct heat. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side.
- Flip and Finish: Use a metal spatula to turn the fish carefully. Cook 2-3 minutes more until internal temperature hits 145°F.
Notes
The fish should marinate for no more than 1 hour or it might become mushy.
Let the fish cook a minute longer if it sticks while flipping.
Keep leftover fish in an airtight container and eat within 1-2 days.
Make twice the marinade amount when cooking for more people.
