This recipe is a delightful combination of healthy and delicious. It's simple enough for a weeknight dinner but elegant enough to impress guests. I love this recipe because it's quick, healthy, and incredibly flavorful. Plus, the cleanup is a breeze! I personally find that it's best served with a side of crusty bread to soak up all those delicious juices.
I first came across this recipe while I was trying to eat healthier. My doctor recommended that I cook more often, which honestly sounded boring at first. But then I found this recipe, and it changed everything! Not only was it tasty, but it was also super easy to make and surprisingly satisfying. I find myself making it at least once a week, sometimes even twice!

🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, make sure it's clean and preheated properly.
- While the grill heats up, prepare the cauliflower. Wash the cauliflower and cut into bite-sized florets. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Roast the cauliflower: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; every oven is different!
- Prepare the fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. This helps them to sear nicely. Season both sides generously with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.
- Grill the fish: Once the grill is hot, carefully place the fish fillets on the grill grates. Grilling time will depend on the thickness of your fillets and the heat of your grill, but generally, 3-5 minutes per side should be sufficient. Use tongs to gently flip them to avoid breaking.
- Check for doneness: The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Be careful not to overcook it, or it'll become dry. (My friend burnt his first batch - he totally panicked and then had to order pizza!)
- Serve immediately: Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute or two before serving. Serve the grilled fish fillets alongside the roasted cauliflower. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a lovely zing!
📝 Notes
- For best results, use firm white fish fillets like cod or halibut.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking.
- If you don't have an oven, you can pan-fry the cauliflower instead. Just make sure to add enough oil to the pan so it doesn't stick
