Cuisine: Fusion
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 fish fillets
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preparing all your ingredients. Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides of the fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot. Drizzle the olive oil and vinegar over the vegetables. Toss everything together until the cabbage and carrot are well coated with the dressing. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the seasoned fish fillets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C) when done.
- While the fish is cooking, give the cabbage salad another toss to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
- Once the fish fillets are cooked, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a minute. This will help retain their moisture.
- To serve, place a generous portion of the cabbage salad on each plate. Top with a fish fillet and garnish with additional salt and pepper if desired. Enjoy your delicious Fish Fillet on Cabbage Salad!
Tips
- Pat your fish fillets completely dry before seasoning to ensure a beautiful golden-brown crust.
- Use a non-stick skillet and avoid moving the fish too much while cooking to get that perfect sear.
- Check fish doneness with a meat thermometer—145°F (63°C) is the sweet spot for perfectly cooked fish.
- Let the cabbage salad sit for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley to your cabbage salad.
- Choose fresh, high-quality fish fillets for the best taste and texture.
- If you prefer, you can also grill or bake the fish instead of pan-frying for a different cooking method.
