Cooking the Fish

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat.

Grill the Fish

Place the fish on a grilling rack or a baking dish and grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Preparing the Chopped Salad

Chop the Vegetables

Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and bell pepper into small, uniform pieces.

Mix the Salad

In a bowl, combine the chopped vegetables with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss well to combine.
