Fideos de Pescado is a delightful low-carb Spanish pasta dish featuring delicate fish and fresh vegetables, offering a savory and satisfying meal. This dish is perfect for those seeking a flavorful yet healthy alternative to traditional pasta.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• White fish fillets (such as cod or tilapia) - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Red bell pepper - 1, diced
• Onion - 1 small, diced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create 'noodles'. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced red bell pepper and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
4. Season the mixture with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
5. Add the fish fillets to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.
6. Once the fish is cooked, gently fold in the zucchini noodles and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are heated through but still firm.
7. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
