One Pan Mediterranean Style Fish
(adapted from Primally Inspired)
Ingredients:
- 1.5 (4- 6oz pieces) fish of choice; I’ve used salmon, walleye and cod
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½-1 tsp sea salt (to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper (to taste)
- 1-2+ tsp dried oregano (to taste)
- 2 Tbsp avocado oil for sauteing
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes (use 2 pint containers or if you have Sam’s or Costco I use the large container)
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
Instructions:
- Prep the fish: Pour half the lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dried oregano over the fish and set aside.
- Add the avocado oil to a large, heavy bottomed skillet. Over medium heat, saute the sliced onion until just soft; add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until garlic is fragrant.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, olives, and the remaining lemon juice to the skillet and cook for ~5 minutes until a few of the cherry tomatoes begin to burst.
- Nestle the fish in the skillet, cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Add the spinach to the skillet during the last minute of cooking or when the fish is almost done: turn off the heat, cover, and allow the spinach to wilt. Serve and enjoy!
