Donna's Grilled Mahi Mahi with Macadamia-Meyer Lemon Gremolata and Grilled Parmesan Zucchini Slices

It is another Sunday, folks, and here is a very simple menu packed with flavor and healthy ingredients for your culinary enjoyment.  Tonight's menu consists of grilled fish and zucchini with fresh toppings that comes together in minutes.  The gremolata may also be used to top a tuna fish sandwich or mixed with quinoa for another lunch bonus tomorrow - only if there are any leftovers!  Best, Donna:
