It’s very simple to put this oregano-lemon tilapia and charred corn salad together. You only need to make one sauce to spooned over the grilled tilapia and corn salad. Fresh oregano adds compelling taste to the sauce and it makes the simple grilled fish tastier.
I seared my tilapia in a skillet with fresh oregano to intensify the flavor. To prevent the oregano to burn I add it right before I flip the tilapia, but you could just skip this step if you not in the mood for the extra effort.
