Preparation

Step 1

FOR SMOKY SUMMER VEGETABLES:

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Combine eggplant, zucchini, summer squash and bell pepper in large bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over; toss to coat.

Arrange corn, onion and tomatoes on baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brush 2 tablespoons oil over corn, tomatoes and onion. Grill vegetables until each is evenly brown and cooked through, about 12 minutes total for corn; about 8 minutes total for eggplant, zucchini, summer squash, bell pepper and onion; and about 2 minutes per side for tomatoes. Remove vegetables from grill and cool.

Cut kernels off cob. Cut all other vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Whisk remaining 2 tablespoons oil, parsley, vinegar and garlic in same large bowl to blend. Return vegetables to bowl, toss to coat. Set aside.

FOR MAHI MAHI:

Sprinkle mahi mahi with salt and pepper. Mix coriander, canola oil and lemon peel in small bowl. Coat mahi mahi with coriander mixture. Grill over medium-high heat until just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer mahi mahi to plate.

Divide vegetable mixture among plates. Top with mahi mahi and serve.

TIPS: To check for doneness, cut into one of the mahi steaks and peek inside; it should be opaque with no pink.
