Ingredients

  • 2 (6 oz) white fish fillets (such as tilapia or cod)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup mixed bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Coat the fish fillets with the marinade and let them sit for about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, and add a little olive oil if needed.

  4. 4

    Place the fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly softened.

  6. 6

    Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for an additional minute until just wilted.

  7. 7

    Serve the fish fillets warm with the sautéed vegetables on the side.
