BAKED FISH WITH ALL THE BRIGHTNESS AND FLAVOR OF LEMON AND FRESH CORIANDER.
This dish came together by chance.
I was trying to use up what I had in my kitchen, for a quick dinner and the results were delicious!
This fish has Mediterranean vibes with capers, lemon, garlic, and cherry tomato. I used a little vegetable broth to create a sauce and you definitely want to serve this up with rice or cauliflower rice to soak up all the goodness!
The combination of coriander with these flavors might sound a little odd, but trust me, it works!
Serve this up with a salad or a good side of any veg to complete the meal.
Here are some good options!
- Lemon Garlic green beans.
- Kale, Parmesan, & Date Salad
- Mediterranean Salad
- Spiced Pomegranate Molasses Brussels Sprouts
Enjoy this quick and delicious dinner this week! And please leave a review if you make it!
