Description
One of my favourite recipes from the book has to be the 15-Minute Mediterranean Fish Dish. It’s fast, fresh, and comes together using minimal ingredients! It’s what I would call an “anytime recipe,” meaning you could literally serve it anytime; during a fancy family meal or on a fast-paced weeknight, the incredible flavours of this dish will surely please!

Scale
- 4 5–oz fish fillets, such as cod or haddock (about 1/2 inch thick)
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 tsp olive oil, divided
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup minced red onions
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 cups quartered grape tomatoes or diced plum tomatoes
- 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (1 oz/28 g)

Instructions
- Pat fish dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat 2 tsp oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until edges start to look caramelized. Carefully flip fish and cook about 2 more minutes or until cooked through. Remove fish to a serving plate, drizzle with lemon juice and keep warm.
- Wipe skillet clean and heat remaining 2 tsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook and stir until onions begin to soften and garlic turns golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, vinegar and few grinds of salt and pepper. Mix well and cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in feta and basil.
- Spoon warm bruschetta over fish fillets and serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.
