★Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
★Instructions
Preheat the Grill*
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F or 190-200°C).
Prepare the Marinade*
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Marinate the Cod*
Place the cod fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the cod, making sure each fillet is well-coated. Let the cod marinate for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Grill the Cod*
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated cod fillets on the grill. Grill the cod for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Tips*
- Ensure the grill is well-heated before adding the fish to achieve a good sear and prevent sticking.
- For extra flavor, you can also add a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- If you don’t have access to an outdoor grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or broil the cod in the oven.
Enjoy!
