MEDITERRANEAN-STYLE MARINATED FISH (OR CHICKEN!) FILLETS
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.

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.
