Garlic-lemon-olive oil is a no-fail base for any vinaigrette.
We start with that and then add scallions and mint to turn this into an herbaceous dressing that really compliments fresh fish.
Drizzle it on a perfectly grilled filet on a hot summer day.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 small clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, slivered
- to taste freshly ground pepper
DIRECTIONS
- Mash garlic with salt, using side of chef’s knife.
- Transfer to small bowl.
- Add lemon juice, oil, and honey; whisk to blend.
- Stir in scallions and mint and season with pepper.
WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
Olive oil provides a base filled with omega-3s, to complement the healthy fats you’ll also be getting from the fish. The garlic and fresh herbs are antioxidant-rich.
