Healthy Recipe - Ocean Trout and Summer Salad

 

 

This is an awesome, healthy dinner that can be in the table in 15 minutes (20 minutes if you count the time you take to stop and buy fish on your way home). The really brilliant part is it is completely flexible, if there is something you don't like, leave it out or change it for something you do like.

 

 Ingredients:

(Serves 2)

 

 350-400g oily fish (I like ocean trout)
 1 ripe tomato
 1 lebanese cucumber
 1/2 avocado
 2 large lettuce leaves
 5 slices grilled zucchini*
 4 cherry mozzarellas
 good quality olive oil
 red wine vinegar
 cracked pepper

 

 1. Turn oven on to 200 degrees, oil a baking dish or tray and place fish on tray skin side up. This helps it to stay moist. Put fish in the oven for 15 minutes.
 2. While the fish is cooking, chop salad ingredients into suitably chunky pieces and place in a bowl. Tear cherry mozzarella's over the top, crack pepper to taste, and drizzle salad with olive oil and red wine vinegar.
 3. After around 15 minutes take the fish out of the oven, if you prefer well done leave it for an extra 3 minutes. Put fish and salad on plates and enjoy.

* either buy pre-grilled and marinated, or make your own by slicing two zucchini into 1/2 cm thick diagonal slices, frying for 30 seconds each side, then leaving in a dish in the fridge overnight to marinate in one tbsp olive oi, one tbsp white wine vinegar, and one clove of garlic very thinly sliced.
