Mix together 1 tsp of the oil, half of the basil, the lemon zest and half each of the salt and pepper; rub all over fish. Set aside.

In bowl, toss zucchini with 1 tsp of the oil and a pinch each of the salt and pepper. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; keep warm.

Meanwhile, toss together tomatoes, vinegar and remaining oil, salt and pepper. Place on greased grill; close lid and grill, turning occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate. Sprinkle with remaining basil; keep warm.

Meanwhile, place fish on greased grill; close lid and grill, turning once, until fish flakes easily when tested with fork, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with zucchini and tomatoes.
