🥘 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 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 teaspoon smoked 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

👨‍🍳 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 red onion for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are tender and lightly charred.
  7. Serve the grilled fish with the roasted vegetables and a squeeze of lemon juice.
  8. Garnish with additional oregano if desired.
