    In a bowl, combine (1/4 cup) fresh lemon juice, (2 tbsp) olive oil, (3 cloves) minced garlic, (2 tsp) dried oregano, (1 tsp) dried thyme, (1 tsp) salt, and (1/2 tsp) black pepper to make the marinade.

  6. 6

    Once done, remove from the grill, sprinkle with (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
