Fish steaks, like beef steaks, are rather thin here so ours cook very fast. Use a medley of any olives you like. The lentils will use the rest of the chickpeas from last week.
Total time: 30 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Note: Can also be cooked under broiler or sautéed in nonstick pan for roughly the same amount of time.
Note 2: I threw a few wood chips on the grill for a slightly smoky flavor - thus the darker surface color.
Total time: 15 minutes
