Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the fish fillets into the skillet.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Arrange the cooked fish fillets on plates and serve the dressed greens alongside or on top. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt flakes.
  7. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve immediately to ensure the best flavor and texture. A light white wine pairs well with this dish.
