Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (6- to 7-inch-long) zucchini, trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus additional for brushing
16 fresh basil leaves
4 (6-ounce) pieces halibut or salmon fillet (preferably wild salmon), skinned
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Equipment: a Y-shaped vegetable peeler

Steps:

  • Shave zucchini lengthwise into very thin ribbons with peeler.
  • For each piece of fish, arrange about 5 slices of zucchini on a work surface, side by side, overlapping each slice by half. Brush zucchini with oil, then lightly season with salt and pepper. Lay 2 basil leaves across center of each group of zucchini slices.
  • Pat fish dry, then sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper (total) and arrange crosswise on zucchini, covering basil leaves. Top each piece of fish with 2 basil leaves, then wrap zucchini around fish, overlapping ends.
  • Put 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet and swirl to coat bottom, then arrange fish, seam sides down, in oil. Lightly brush tops of zucchini and fish with oil.
  • Cover skillet and cook fish over medium heat, without turning, until barely cooked through, 6 to 9 minutes, depending on thickness of fillets (fish will continue to cook from residual heat).
  • Transfer fish to plates, then stir lemon juice and remaining 2 tablespoons oil into juices in skillet and season sauce with salt and pepper. Drizzle sauce over fish.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat fish. My kids loved the zucchini-wrapped fish and didn't even realize they were eating fish.

This dish was delicious and healthy. I used tilapia fillets and they cooked perfectly in the oven. The zucchini added a nice pop of flavor and color.
