🥘 Ingredients

  • 4 fish fillets (6 oz each, preferably sea bass or branzino)
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
  • 1 large bell pepper, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
  • 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, 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. 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. Transfer the fish to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  5. 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 garnish with chopped parsley.
