Lay a slice of lemon on each fish fillet, followed by a sprig of fresh herbs on each one.

Carefully fold the edges of the foil to create a secure seal, ensuring no steam can escape, forming a loose tent.

Preheat one side of the grill to high heat while keeping the lid closed.

Once the grill reaches the desired temperature, place the foil packets on the cooler side of the grill where the burners are turned off (this is indirect heat) and close the lid.

Depending on how thick your fish is, allow it to cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and is fully cooked. For reference, my porgy fillets required about 12 minutes.
