Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Slice the 1 zucchini and 1 carrot into thin ribbons using a peeler. Cut the 1 cup broccoli into small florets and the 1 cucumber into half-moons.
Step 3
Grill the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are opaque and flake easily with a fork. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, carrot, broccoli, cucumber, and 2 cups arugula with 2 tbsp olive oil, the juice of 1 lemon, and a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Divide the vegetable salad among plates, top with the grilled fish, and drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Serve immediately.
Step 6
Optional: sprinkle with fresh herbs like dill or parsley if you have them.
