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

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.

Tips:

  • Choose firm-fleshed fish fillets: These will hold up well to the marinating and grilling process. Good options include salmon, tuna, swordfish, and halibut.
  • Make sure the fish is fresh: The fresher the fish, the better the flavor will be. Look for fish that is bright in color and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the fish its flavor, so make sure to use a combination of herbs, spices, and citrus that you enjoy. Some good options include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Marinate the fish for at least 30 minutes: This will give the flavors time to penetrate the fish.
  • Grill the fish over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and drying out.
  • Serve the fish immediately: Grilled fish is best enjoyed when it is hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Marinated Mediterranean fish fillets are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The fish is flavorful and moist, and the marinade adds a delicious pop of flavor. This dish is perfect for a summer cookout or a weeknight meal. Plus, it's a great way to get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids.
