Grilling fish is a super quick way to get dinner on the table fast with minimal clean up, especially if you eat outside.
Make it a meal with some veggie skewers on the side and dress it up with this Green Tahini if you have the time.
Always use a great quality extra virgin olive oil. We love Colavita!
