Instructions

Step 1

Score the squid lengthwise with a sharp knife, making cuts close together (about 1/8 inch apart) and being careful not to cut through the squid. Combine the squid, oil, garlic, oregano, and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a bowl. Let stand for about 10 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, combine the remaining 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, the tomatoes, onion, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in another bowl; set aside.

Step 3

Spray a nonstick ridged grill pan with nonstick spray and place over medium-high heat. Remove the squid from the marinade, discard the marinade, thread 2 skewers through each squid body (one near the narrow end and one near the fat end) to keep the squid flat during grilling; sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Grill the squid until it is just cooked through, about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Remove the squid from the skewers, top with the tomato mixture, and serve immediately.
