Not all grilling needs to revolve around a beef main course. This time, elevate your perfect-for-summer appetizer with a light yet full-of-flavor tilapia. While grilling with a touch of oil would be enough for this fish, try stepping it up even further with a chimichurri marinade and garnish. The color alone will impress your guests.

We’ve tried it. Now, so should you!
