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

1. Mash garlic with salt, using side of chef’s knife.
2. Transfer to small bowl.
3. Add lemon juice, oil, and honey; whisk to blend.
4. 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.
