Marinating fish

Almost all fish benefits from a flavorful marinade. Some oil, acid, herbs and/or spices are all you need to make a marinade. If you can, save the salt and pepper for just before you add the fish to the grill.

You will get the best result if you marinate your fish for about 15 to 20 minutes in the refrigerator since the acid will cook the fish if left for a long period of time. Of course, it depends on type of fish and recipe.
