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.

Categories     European

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.

I marinated the fish fillets in this flavorful Mediterranean sauce overnight and grilled them for dinner. The fish was tender, moist, and packed with savory flavors. My family loved it!
