Garlic Herb White Fish with Rice & Fresh Mozzarella Salad
This easy healthy dinner is a total weeknight win!
Ingredients :
4 white fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or haddock – for the best garlic herb fish flavor)
Salt & freshly cracked black pepper
1 tsp paprika
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced (bold garlic butter flavor boost)
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
2 cups cooked white rice (fluffy base for a balanced dinner plate)
2 cups romaine or green leaf lettuce
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cucumber, sliced
½ cup fresh mozzarella pearls (creamy touch for a fresh salad bowl)
1 tbsp lemon juice
How to Make It :
Season the White Fish:
Pat fish fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika on both sides. Press the seasoning in for that best garlic herb white fish crust, creating a true restaurant-style seafood dinner and an easy high-protein dinner favorite.
Sear to Golden Perfection:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add fish and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and flaky. In the last minute, add garlic and parsley, spooning the fragrant oil over the fish for that flavor-packed comfort food vibe and a serious weeknight dinner hero.
Prepare the Fluffy Rice:
Cook white rice according to package instructions and fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with a little parsley and cracked pepper to elevate this into the best homemade rice bowl base and a balanced clean eating dinner goal.
Build the Fresh Mozzarella Salad:
Toss lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and mozzarella pearls together. Drizzle with lemon juice and a touch of olive oil for a bright finish. This creates a refreshing fresh garden salad bowl and a light healthy lifestyle plate.
Plate & Finish Strong:
Arrange rice, garlic herb fish, and mozzarella salad on a plate. Spoon any remaining garlic oil over the fish for that glossy finish. You’ve just built a balanced protein-packed meal and a total crowd-pleasing healthy dinner.
