Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or any mild white fish)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 medium granny smith apple (cubed)
- 1 stalk celery (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons walnuts (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Cube the granny smith apple, chop the celery and walnuts, and set them aside.
Place the fish fillets in a microwave-safe dish. Dot the top of the fillets with the butter.
Drizzle the fish fillets with 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.
Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, ensuring there is a small vent, and microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the Waldorf-inspired topping. In a small bowl, combine the cubed apple, chopped celery, walnuts, mayonnaise, and the remaining tablespoon of lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Once the fish is cooked, carefully remove it from the microwave and let it rest for 1 minute.
Serve the fish fillets on a plate, and spoon the Waldorf topping over them.
Enjoy your Lemony Waldorf Fish Fillets as a light, refreshing meal.
