Grilled Pompano and Summer Vegetables with Za’atar 🔗

A simple, completely delicious recipe for grilled whole pampano fish and grilled za’atar summer vegetable skewers.

Prep: 15min

Total: 35min

Ingredients:

  • 2 medium-sized zucchini (, trimmed and cut into thick rounds)
  • 2 medium-sized summer squash (, trimmed and cut into thick rounds)
  • 2 bell peppers (, cored, seeded, and cut into thick rounds)
  • 1 red onion (, trimmed, peeled and cut into eighths)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (, divided)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt (, divided)
  • 2 tablespoons za’atar
  • 4 whole pompano fish (, gutted)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • lemon rounds
  • 4 thyme sprigs
  • basmati rice (, for serving (optional))

Instruction:

  1. Prepare a hot grill. Heat should be strong, but not so hot that you can’t hold your hand comfortably over it for 4 – 5 seconds.
  2. Slide prepped vegetables onto bamboo skewers. Brush vegetables on all sides with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sea salt. Finally, sprinkle za’atar over vegetables. Set skewers on the grill; cook each side until tender, 3 – 4 minutes. Set cooked vegetables aside while you grill the fish.
  3. Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and remaining sea salt. Brush pompano sparingly on both sides with the oil-lemon juice mixture. Place on the grill.
  4. Cook 3 – 4 minutes. Carefully flip fish with a spatula, approaching from the top so as not to damage the skin. Cook for another 3 – 4 minutes. Use a sharp knife to check that fish is opaque all the way through. If fish needs a little more time, move it from directly over the coals to a part of the grill with indirect heat and cook until done (3 more minutes, max).
  5. Serve grilled whole fish with lemon rounds, a sprig of thyme, grilled vegetables, and rice. Pair with Mirassou Chardonnay.
