Description
Tender, herb‑crusted fish fillets served over sautéed mushrooms and vibrant greens, all finished with a squeeze of lemon. Elegant, nutritious, and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 4 white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or shiitake), sliced
- 1 small shallot or red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups baby spinach or mixed tender greens
Instructions
- Pat fish fillets dry. Mix parsley, dill, chives, lemon zest, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Rub mixture over both sides of the fish.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high. Add mushrooms and sauté 3–4 minutes until browned. Add shallot and garlic; cook until fragrant.
- Nestle fish atop the mushrooms, reduce heat, cover, and cook 5–7 minutes until fish flakes easily.
- Add greens around and over the fish, cover briefly until wilted (2 minutes). Squeeze lemon juice over top.
- Adjust seasoning. Serve directly from the skillet, garnished with extra herbs and lemon slices if desired.
Notes
- Sub frozen fish—thaw and pat dry first.
- Dried herbs can substitute at one‑third the fresh amount.
- Use spinach, arugula, baby kale, or chard.
- Already dairy‑free—add a pat of butter or drizzle of cream if desired.
