For the Dressing
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil Provides richness and helps achieve a perfect grilled texture.

  • 2 cloves Garlic Use crushed garlic to unleash its aromatic oils and robust flavor.
  • Sea Salt & Ground Pepper Essential for seasoning both the fish and the dressing.
  • 2 tablespoons Capers Adds a briny kick; rinse well if salt-packed for optimal taste.
  • 1/4 Red Onion Offers a sharp yet sweet profile, enhancing the dressing's complexity.
  • Parsley A fresh herb that brightens the dressing, creating a flavor contrast.
For the Fish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dressing: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and crushed garlic until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in rinsed capers, red onion, and parsley. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Fish: Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat with olive oil and butter. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
  3. Drain & Serve: Transfer the cooked fish to a plate lined with kitchen towels. Spoon the dressing over the fish and let it rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh fish and let it sit at room temperature before cooking. Proper seasoning enhances flavor, and resting allows the dish to harmonize beautifully.
