Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Cod fillets 6 oz each, skinless and boneless
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil extra virgin, divided for marinade and salad
  • 1 whole Lemon zested and juiced
  • 1 tbsp Rosemary freshly chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Parsley freshly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Dill freshly chopped
  • 1 tsp Salt kosher
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper freshly ground
  • 4 cups Arugula fresh baby arugula
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 medium Bell peppers thinly sliced

Instructions
 

  • Pat the cod fillets completely dry with a paper towel.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, half of the lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, parsley, dill, half of the salt, and half of the black pepper.
  • Coat the cod fillets in the marinade and let them sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375-400 degrees F). Carefully oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the cod fillets for 4 to 5 minutes per side. The fish is done when it is entirely opaque, flakes easily with a fork, and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
  • While the fish rests, combine the baby arugula, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced bell peppers in a large bowl. Toss with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, remaining lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
  • Serve the warm grilled cod fillets immediately alongside the fresh side salad.
