Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless white fish fillet (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, sliced thinly
- 1 cup Carrots, julienned
- 1 medium Zucchini, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for garnish
Instructions
Season the fish fillets with salt and black pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan or pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the red chili flakes, then pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the carrots and zucchini. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
In a separate skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook the fish fillets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add the baby spinach to the broth mixture and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Ladle the broth and vegetables into serving bowls. Place one cooked fish fillet on top of the broth in each bowl.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
