230g
1.50 cups cherry tomatoes
270g
2 garlic cloves
6g
4 cups spinach
120g
2 tbsp vinegar
30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Fish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Place the fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with a bit of olive oil.
2. Flavor the Fish:
- Sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over the fish fillets.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the fillets.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Bake the Fish:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
- While the fish is baking, heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the green beans and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to become tender.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and the green beans are tender.
5. Add Spinach and Vinegar:
- Add the spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the vinegar and mix well.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine and Serve:
- Once the fish is done baking, remove it from the oven.
- Plate the sautéed beans and tomato mixture onto serving dishes.
- Place the baked lemon fish fillets on top of the veggies.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
