Notes
Grill slightly longer for crispier edges or less for softer flaky texture. Freeze marinated uncooked fish for easier future meals. Handle fish carefully during flipping to prevent breaking apart. Customize flavors with chili flakes, dill, rosemary, or extra garlic seasoning. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to two days and reheat gently in the oven for best texture.
