Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
Marinated Fish
- 8 ounces boneless, skinless fish fillets, 1 to 1 ½ inches thick
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
Salad Dressing
- 3 Tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Salad
- 1 head of green leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce, chopped (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ English cucumber, sliced into ¼-inch-thick half-moons
- ½ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ½ cup pitted kalamata olives, plus 2 tablespoons of the juice from the jar
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large zip-top bag, combine the fish with the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano. Marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
- Shake off any excess marinade before placing the fish on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until center is just opaque and fish registers 135 degrees F internal temperature using a meat thermometer.
- While the fish is in the oven, make the salad dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside at room temperature for the flavors to meld while you prepare the remaining salad components.
- In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, and salad dressing. For the extra punch of flavor, add the kalamata juice and toss well.
- Remove the fish from the oven and transfer to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the fish into bite-size pieces and place on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
