Grilled Tilapia and Lemon Seasoned Zucchini

It is still pretty hot here in Texas so I wanted to fire up the grill before the cold set in. It's comin' y'all!

I grilled this amazing tilapia and zucchini after marinating it for a few hours. It was delicious.

 This recipe is so simple. You just need a little salt and pepper, lemon, and olive oil. 

Slice the zucchini length wise and then slice in half. Be sure to cut the ends off, as they can be a little tough. 

Zest a lemon.

Put the zucchini in a ziplock bag along with some salt and pepper, the zest of the lemon, and the juice from the whole lemon that was zested. Seal the bag and shake to incorporate all of the flavors. Place in the refrigerator to marinate. I did this in the morning and then took it out for dinner. 

Wash and pat dry tilapia. Season with Gazebo Room Greek Dressing and Zatarains Big and Zesty Garlic and Herb Seasoning. Remove Zucchini from the refrigerator and fire up the grill!  

This is the end product. A nice healthy dinner that is Paleo friendly!

I made a yummy chicken fried rice with lots of vegetables hidden within. It was so flavorful and could be a side dish or main dish.
