Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 200 grams mixed salad greens (arugula, spinach, lettuce)
- 150 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 0.5 red onion
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 4 crusty bread slices
- 1 tablespoon dill (fresh, chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
Step 2
Season the fish fillets with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the fillets in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
While the fish cools, prepare the vegetables. Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the cucumber, and finely slice the red onion.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and capers.
Step 5
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
Break the slightly cooled fish into large chunks and add to the salad bowl.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine, taking care not to break the fish pieces too much.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped dill and serve alongside crusty bread slices for a complete meal.
