Lemon-Mint Vinaigrette (For Fish)

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
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 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.
