👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

1

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oil them to prevent sticking.

⏱️ 10 min (ish) 🌡️ 400°F/200°C

AI Wisdom: Clean and oiled grates prevent fish from sticking.
2

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil on both sides.

⏱️ 5 min (ish)

AI Wisdom: Patting dry helps achieve a crispy skin.
3

Place the fish fillets on the grill, skin side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes without moving to get nice grill marks.

⏱️ 5 min (ish) 🌡️ medium-high heat

AI Wisdom: Wait for the fish to naturally release from the grill before flipping.
4

Carefully flip the fish using a spatula. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.

⏱️ 4 min (ish) 🌡️ medium-high heat

AI Wisdom: Cooking time varies based on the thickness of the fillets.
5

While the fish is grilling, in a small saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest and juice.

⏱️ 2 min (ish) 🌡️ medium heat

AI Wisdom: Be careful not to burn the garlic.
6

Once the fish is done, transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic and lemon mixture over the fish. Garnish with fresh herbs.

AI Wisdom: The sauce adds extra flavor to the grilled fish.
