Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 0.5 cup kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cucumber, sliced
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
3. Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes.
4. While the fish is marinating, prepare the herb and caper mixture: In another bowl, combine the parsley, dill, and capers.
5. Arrange the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, and sliced cucumber on a large serving platter, leaving space for the fish.
6. Arrange the mixed salad greens on another section of the platter.
7. Place the marinated fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
8. Once the fish is cooked, allow it to cool slightly before placing it on the platter with the vegetables.
9. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salad greens and top with the crumbled feta cheese.
10. Sprinkle the herb and caper mixture over the fish and olives.
11. Serve immediately as a refreshing keto-friendly fish meze.
