If you are planning to serve fish for dinner, what about making a tasty grilled vegetables recipe to go with it? Most fish is delicately flavored and if you want to make an impressive dish, you might like to make a colorful vegetable side dish to go alongside the fish.
Actually, you can choose from baked, sauteed, steamed, or grilled fresh vegetables. If the weather is good, you might like to make a grilled corn recipe or some vegetable kabobs. You can grill the fish at the same time. Alternatively make the meal indoors.

Weight watchers will love fish with grilled vegetables because it is such a healthy dish yet a delicious one. Diet food does not have to be boring and you can season most fish delicately with a squeeze of lemon or lime juice and some black pepper. There is no need for fattening creamy dressings when you serve fish or seafood.
Couscous And Roasted Bell Pepper Salad
Boil a cup of couscous according to the instructions on the box. That usually means using twice as much water as couscous and a pinch of salt. Couscous takes about fifteen minutes to get soft. When most of the liquid is gone, take it off the heat, and put the lid on. Let it sweat for ten minutes.
Put it in a colander, rinse it with cold water to get the starch off and let it drain. Puree three roasted or grilled red bell peppers and add a couple of tablespoons of yogurt, a bit of salt and a tablespoon of olive oil. Finely chop a cup of sweet pickles and add these.
Pour most of the red bell pepper dressing over the couscous and stir well. Peel and grate a pair of carrots and add these. Cover and chill. Bring the salad back to room temperature to serve it. You can add some more dressing if you like. This would go well with baked cod or tilapia.
Cajun Potato Salad
This recipe serves four people. Cook two pounds of peeled potatoes and cut them into chunks. Chop four green onions and add these. You can reserve some of the sliced green part for garnish, if you want to. You can also add a chopped jalapeno chili if you like, or even two for a very spicy side dish.
Combine a tablespoon of mustard with three quarters of a cup of yogurt, a teaspoon of Cajun seasoning, and a dash of cayenne pepper in another bowl, and then season this dressing with salt and pepper.
Toss the potatoes and green onions with the Cajun dressing and sprinkle the remaining green onion over the top. Serve this delicious vegetable recipe with blackened salmon for an easy gourmet meal.
Zucchini With Corn And Lemon
The mixture of dill and lemon in this recipe is really good and this side dish would go well with any fish entree. Saute a thinly sliced zucchini with half a chopped onion and quarter of a teaspoon of dill weed in a tablespoon of butter in a pan.
Add a fifteen ounce can of drained whole kernel corn and a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and warm everything through before serving. This recipe might sound simple you will be surprised how perfectly balanced and flavorful it is.
