Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) grilled fish fillet
Vegetables:
- 1 cup (150 grams) broccoli
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) snap peas
Instructions
- Sprinkle fish fillet with salt, pepper, and paprika, then grill at medium-high heat (400°F) for 3-4 minutes per side until golden and flaky.
- While fish cooks, place broccoli and snap peas in a steamer basket, cover, and steam for 5-6 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
- Halve cherry tomatoes to enhance their visual appeal and release natural juices.
- Create an artistic plate composition by positioning grilled fish as the centerpiece, surrounding it with steamed vegetables and scattered tomato halves.
- Optional: Drizzle a light herb-infused olive oil or squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish for added brightness and flavor complexity.
Notes
- Pat the fish dry before seasoning to ensure a crispy exterior and better spice absorption.
- Choose firm white fish like cod or halibut for optimal grilling results without falling apart.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after grilling to brighten the fish’s flavor and enhance its natural sweetness.
- For a gluten-free and low-carb option, serve the fish and vegetables with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles instead of traditional grains.
