Fattoush with Fish

Fattoush with Fish is a refreshing twist on the traditional Lebanese salad, incorporating tender, grilled fish for an added protein punch. The vibrant mix of vegetables and tangy sumac dressing creates a perfect harmony of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• Mixed greens (arugula, romaine) - 100g
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 medium, diced
• Radishes - 4, thinly sliced
• Bell pepper (red or yellow) - 1, diced
• Green onion - 2, chopped
• Pita bread - 1 large, cut into triangles

Steps

1. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sumac, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
3. Pat the fish fillet dry and season with salt and pepper. Brush both sides with a little of the dressing.
4. Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the grill and let it rest.
