Ingredients

For the Grilled Lemon Herb Fish:

2 medium-sized white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod) - about 4-6 ounces each
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lemon (zest and juice)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Mixed Vegetables:

2 cups of mixed low-carb vegetables (choose from broccoli, asparagus, green beans, zucchini, and bell peppers)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Prepare the Lemon Herb Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Marinate the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and place them in a shallow dish or ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, making sure it's well coated. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
Prepare the Mixed Vegetables: Wash and trim the vegetables as needed. If using broccoli or green beans, blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will help maintain their bright color and crispness.
Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Grill the Fish: Remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the fish fillets on the preheated grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
Grill the Mixed Vegetables: Place the prepared vegetables on the grill, using a grilling basket if available. Grill for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Serve: Divide the grilled fish and mixed vegetables between two plates. You can drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the fish if desired for extra flavor. Enjoy your delicious and healthy low-carb, high-protein meal!
