Chickpea and Fish is a delightful low-carb Greek seafood dish that combines tender fish fillets with hearty chickpeas, seasoned to perfection with Mediterranean spices. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients, making it a wholesome option for seafood lovers.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock) - 300 grams
• Canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Cherry tomatoes (halved) - 150 grams
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the fish fillets to the skillet, seasoning them with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
5. In the same skillet, add the chickpeas and halved cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften.
6. Drizzle lemon juice over the chickpea and tomato mixture, then stir in the chopped parsley.
7. Return the cooked fish to the skillet, gently mixing it with the chickpeas and tomatoes to combine flavors. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
8. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
