MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE MARINATED FISH (OR CHICKEN!) FILLETS

Mediterranean-Style Marinated Fish (Or Chicken!) Fillets image

This is adapted from a recipe that came with some Penzeys spices I got as a wedding gift. It is fabulous. Cook time includes maximum possible marinade time. I think some feta sprinkled on top would be wonderful.

Time P1DT10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 (4 ounce) fish fillets or 2 (4 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil or 1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic granules
2 bay leaves
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Steps:

In a shallow bowl, mix oil, vinegar, pepper, basil/thyme and garlic.
Coat both sides of fillets.
Break bay leaves into 3-4 pieces, press onto both sides of fillets.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight (overnight is better!) Remove bay leaves and discard extra marinade.
Sprinkle with salt and cook over medium high heat in large skillet (nonstick is best).
For example: a thick cod fillet will need about 4 minutes per side, thin long fillets 2-3 minutes/side.
Drippings in the pan are great on pasta--deglaze pan by adding a bit more red wine vinegar (or just WINE!) and toss with freshly cooked (not rinsed!) warm pasta.

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 (150 g) fish fillets
3 teaspoons olive oil
marinade
3 tablespoons lemon juice
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
cayenne pepper

Steps:

Combine all marinade ingredients. Marinade fish fillets for 30 mins or more.
Remove fish from marinade. Heat oil in non-stick frypan and fry fish until cooked through.

Tips:

Choose the freshest fish fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, briny smell.
Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful marinade. Some good options include garlic, lemon, oregano, basil, and thyme.
Allow the fish to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help the flavors to penetrate the fish.
When cooking the fish, be careful not to overcook it. Fish is best when it is cooked just until it is opaque in the center.
Serve the fish with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.

Conclusion:

Marinated Mediterranean fish fillets are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The marinade helps to infuse the fish with flavor, and the cooking method ensures that the fish is cooked perfectly. Serve with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
