Instructions
- Heat a grill to medium-high, about 425°F. Clean the grates and oil a grill basket or a sheet of heavy-duty foil with holes poked through it. Dice the cucumber and tomatoes, thinly slice the sweet onion, mince the garlic, and zest and juice the lemon.
- Whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil with the red wine vinegar, garlic, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper; set the dressing aside.
- Rub the corn with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Grill it covered, turning every few minutes, until tender and lightly charred, 8–10 minutes; transfer to a cutting board and cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pat the rockfish dry and check for pin bones. Rub it with the remaining olive oil, lemon zest, remaining oregano, and remaining salt.
- Place the fish in the grill basket or on the prepared foil. Grill covered for 3–4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until it flakes easily and reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
- Cut the kernels from the cobs and toss them with the cucumber, tomatoes, sweet onion, and prepared dressing. Taste and add another squeeze of lemon if desired.
- Divide the corn salad between two plates, top with the grilled rockfish, and spoon any remaining dressing around the fish before serving.
