Pescada à Delícia is a vibrant Brazilian seafood dish that features tender white fish marinated in zesty lime and cooked with colorful vegetables. This healthy recipe highlights the freshness of the ingredients while delivering a burst of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• Pescada fillets - 300 grams
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Bell pepper (red) - 1 medium, sliced
• Onion - 1 medium, sliced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine lime juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Add the pescada fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
4. Once hot, add the sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the marinated pescada fillets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
7. Once cooked, sprinkle chopped cilantro over the dish before serving.
