Salmouneh

Salmouneh is a refreshing Lebanese seafood dish that combines tender fish with zesty herbs and vegetables, perfect for those following a Paleo diet. This dish highlights the natural flavors of the sea, enhanced by a citrusy marinade and a touch of garlic.

Ingredients

• White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock) - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Fresh cilantro - 1/4 cup, chopped
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Red onion - 1 small, thinly sliced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Sea salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika to create a marinade.
2. Add the white fish fillets to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is marinating, prepare the salad by combining cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, parsley, and cilantro in a large bowl.
4. Once the fish has marinated, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky.
5. Remove the fish from the grill and let it rest for a minute before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
6. Serve the grilled fish on a plate, topped with the fresh salad mixture.
