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

Ingredients

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 the right fish or chicken fillets. Firm-fleshed fish, such as salmon, tuna, swordfish, or chicken breasts, work best for this recipe. Avoid delicate fish, such as tilapia or sole, as they may fall apart during cooking.
Make sure the marinade is flavorful. Use a variety of herbs, spices, and citrus juices to create a marinade that is both flavorful and aromatic. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors to find a combination that you enjoy.
Marinate the fish or chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the marinade to penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be.
Cook the fish or chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the meat from overcooking and becoming dry. If you are grilling or broiling the meat, make sure to baste it with the marinade frequently to keep it moist.
Serve the fish or chicken with a variety of sides. Roasted vegetables, grilled lemon wedges, and a simple green salad are all great options.

Conclusion:

This Mediterranean-style marinated fish or chicken fillet recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade is flavorful and aromatic, and the fish or chicken cooks quickly and easily. Serve with a variety of sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
