- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add the marinated fish fillets.
- Cook the fish for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. Optionally, you can drizzle a little olive oil and additional lemon juice over the salad for extra flavor.
