White fish is a great source of lean protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which can help promote heart health and reduce inflammation. This recipe is simple to make, with just a few basic ingredients, and can be customized to suit your tastes and preferences.
To make this recipe, start by selecting a white fish that is suitable for grilling, such as tilapia, cod, or halibut.
