🥗Healthier: paprika

💰Cheaper: red pepper flakes

Prepare the chermoula by combining coriander, parsley, garlic, cumin, paprika, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil in a bowl.

Mix until well combined and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Marinate the yellowtail fish in the chermoula for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the fish from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Place the marinated yellowtail on the grill.

Cook the fish for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

While the fish is grilling, prepare a side of sautéed vegetables using onion, tomato, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini.

Sauté the vegetables in olive oil over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Serve the grilled yellowtail with the sautéed vegetables on the side.
