Ingredients
Instructions
- Dip each fish fillet in melted butter and sprinkle Old Bay seasoning well on each side, patting it by hand, then do the same with bread crumbs.

- Lower the fire and then cook the vegetables until tender.

Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider using lemon zest mixed with the Old Bay seasoning for an extra zing. If you're missing Old Bay seasoning, a combination of paprika, celery salt, and black pepper can work as a substitute. Make sure your grill is preheated adequately to achieve those perfect grill marks. The fish fillets can be swapped for salmon or tilapia if preferred, and zucchini can be replaced with bell peppers or asparagus.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the grilled fish alongside the grilled vegetables for a colorful presentation. A fresh green salad or some quinoa can complement the dish well. This recipe pairs beautifully with Tuna Walnut Salad for a refreshing side option. Consider drizzling some balsamic glaze over the vegetables for added flavor, or serve with a lemon wedge for a citrusy touch.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the fish and vegetables on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, ensuring they don’t dry out. You can also microwave them for quicker reheating, but be cautious to avoid overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fish fillets for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen fish fillets, but it’s essential to thaw them completely before grilling. To speed up the thawing process, place them in a sealed bag under cold running water for about 30 minutes. Ensure they're well-drained before applying the butter and seasonings.
What kind of fish works best for grilling?
Firm fish like salmon, swordfish, or tilapia are ideal for grilling due to their ability to hold together without falling apart. However, this recipe is versatile, and you can use any fish fillets you enjoy. Just adjust the cooking time based on thickness to avoid overcooking.
Can I add other vegetables to the grill?
Absolutely! You can include bell peppers, asparagus, or even corn on the cob for added variety. Just remember to cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking. Try incorporating some cherry tomatoes for a burst of flavor, which will complement the grilled fish beautifully.
