Ingredients
- 2 bonito fish fillets about 6 ounces each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Preparation: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, dill, and parsley to create the marinade.
- Marinate: Place the bonito fillets in a dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure both sides are coated. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature.
- Grill: Remove the fillets from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork but remains moist inside.
- Serve: Transfer the grilled bonito onto plates and garnish with extra herbs or lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent the fish from sticking.
- If you prefer a less charred flavor, the bonito can also be cooked in a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stove.
