Fish with Garlic Sauce

This Fish with Garlic Sauce is a delightful vegetarian interpretation of a Lebanese seafood dish, combining the rich flavors of garlic and aromatic spices with fresh fish. Served with a side of fragrant rice, it's a savory meal that is both satisfying and healthy.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 300 grams
• Fresh garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - 100 ml

Steps

1. Start by marinating the fish fillets in a mixture of lemon juice, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cumin for about 15 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the minced garlic, sautéing it until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
3. Add the marinated fish fillets to 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. Pour in the water and let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes to create a light sauce.
5. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the dish and serve hot with rice or bread.
