🥘 Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets (6 oz each, preferably sea bass or tilapia)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced
  • 1 large bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, smoked paprika, 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.
  4. Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Grill the fish for 4-5 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. While the fish is cooking, grill the zucchini, bell pepper, and onion slices for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are tender and lightly charred.
  7. During the last minute of grilling, add the cherry tomatoes to the grill and cook until they start to soften.
  8. Serve the grilled fish with the roasted vegetables, garnished with chopped parsley.
