Ingredients

• White fish fillets (cod or halibut) - 250 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Spring onions, chopped - 2 stalks
• Carrot, julienned - 1 medium
• Zucchini, julienned - 1 medium
• Bell pepper, thinly sliced - 1 medium
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Place the white fish fillets in the marinade and let them sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables by julienning the carrot and zucchini, and slicing the bell pepper and spring onions.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a teaspoon of sesame oil.
5. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
6. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside.
7. In the same skillet, add the carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper, stir-frying for about 3-5 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
8. Plate the fish and top with the sautéed vegetables. Garnish with chopped spring onions and sesame seeds before serving.
