Ingredients
- 4 Filets Fish fillets (e.g., sea bream, sea bass, or pollock)
- 1 kg Mixed wild green herbs (e.g., amaranth, mustard greens, dandelion, purslane)
- 4 Zehen Garlic, minced
- 100 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Lemons
- Nach Geschmack Salt
- Nach Geschmack Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 Prise Sea salt flakes for sprinkling
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash the wild green herbs and remove any thick stems. Bring to a boil in a large pot with a little salted water and steam for about 10-15 minutes until tender. Drain very well and squeeze out excess water.
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the fish fillets into the skillet.
- Pan-fry the fish fillets for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fillets.
- In a bowl, toss the steamed greens with the minced garlic, the remaining olive oil, and the juice of one lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the cooked fish fillets on plates and serve the dressed greens alongside or on top. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately to ensure the best flavor and texture. A light white wine pairs well with this dish.
