🥘 Ingredients

  • 4 fresh fish fillets (such as sea bass or branzino, 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  3. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and brush the marinade evenly over both sides of the fish. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  5. While the fish is cooking, grill the zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are tender and lightly charred.
  6. Serve the grilled fish with the roasted vegetables and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or oregano for added freshness and flavor.

💡 Chef’s Tips

  • Choose fresh and sustainable fish options to ensure the best flavor and nutritional value.
