Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as haddock or cod)
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 large cucumber, sliced
- 0.5 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, parsley, dill, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a herby marinade.
Step 2
Place the white fish fillets on a large plate or shallow dish. Pour half of the prepared marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are well-coated. Keep the remaining marinade aside for later use.
Step 3
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
Step 4
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Wash and halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Arrange these vegetables on a serving platter, adding the rinsed capers for extra tangy flavor.
Step 5
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking.
Step 6
Remove the fish fillets from the marinade and grill them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and they easily flake with a fork.
Step 7
Transfer the grilled fish to the vegetable platter. Drizzle with the reserved marinade for an extra burst of zesty flavor.
Step 8
Serve your Paleo Mediterranean Fish Meze immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the vibrant blend of Mediterranean flavors.
