Savor the vibrant flavors of grilled fish paired with crunchy fries for a delightful meal that’s simple yet satisfying! Perfect for any day of the week!
Ingredients:
– 2 white fish fillets, such as cod or halibut
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 lemon, cut into wedges
– Fresh parsley for garnish
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp paprika
– 1/2 tsp garlic powder
– 1/2 tsp lemon zest
– 2 cups frozen fries or fresh if you prefer
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the package of your frozen fries. Arrange the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet.
2. Bake the fries for the recommended time, making sure to flip them halfway through for an even crispiness.
3. While the fries are baking, prepare the fish. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a great sear.
4. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix it well to form a spice rub.
5. Rub this delicious spice mixture generously over both sides of each fish fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium heat. Once hot, place the fish fillets on the grill.
7. Grill the fish for about 3-4 minutes per side, keeping a close eye on them. You want them fully cooked and slightly crispy on the outside but be careful not to overcook, or they’ll dry out.
8. Once the fries are golden brown and the fish is perfectly grilled, it’s time to assemble. Place the crispy fries alongside the grilled fish fillets on a plate.
9. Serve the dish with fresh lemon wedges and a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top for a pop of color.
10. For an extra twist, consider adding a dollop of tartar sauce or a drizzle of fresh herb-infused olive oil on the side!
