This Greek Grilling Marinade is fast to put together and quite delicious, particularly with fish. It lends its tart lemony zing to meaty white fish like hake, cod, or grouper and can totally transform... tilapia. It’s good with chicken too.

½ cup olive oil
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tablespoons capers
1 sprig of thyme
1 sprig of rosemary
¼ cup chives, chopped

Directions

In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest and the capers. Mix with a wire whisk to combine.
Transfer to a gallon-sized zip-lock bag. Add the whole sprigs of herbs and the chives.
Place your meat or fish in the bag with marinade mixture. Seal and refrigerate for up to 12 hours before grilling.

Chef Tips

This is great to do the night before, but if you can’t, fish can benefit from marinating even as little as 30 minutes.
