How to Make Mediterranean Fish Marinade

  1. In a non-reactive bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the fish or chicken to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove the fish or chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the fish for 1.5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Grill chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean-inspired meal!
