Fish with Capers

Fish with Capers is a vibrant and zesty Greek seafood dish that combines the delicate flavors of fresh fish with the briny punch of capers. This dish is perfect for a light yet satisfying meal, bringing the essence of the Mediterranean to your table.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or sea bass) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Capers - 2 tablespoons, rinsed and drained
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Once the fish is cooked, add the capers and lemon juice to the skillet, gently stirring to coat the fish. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the fish before serving.
6. Serve the fish warm, drizzled with the pan sauce, alongside a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
