Greek Style Cobia Served with Salad



So this morning, I was lucky enough to receive a freshly caught Cobia from a local beach. I was excited to cook this fish for the first time but I had to overcome the obstacle of filleting my first fish. After watching a very helpful YouTube video, I was able to produce some rather decent fillets. I went with a simple greek style seasoning and preparation and served it with a side salad with some greek kefalotiri cheese and an olive oil, balsamic vinegar dressing. Cobia is not too easy to come by but it can be used on a wide variety of fish to produce a quick and simple delicious result

Ingredients
For Fish:
  • 2 fillets of fish of choice
  • Olive oil
  • Oregano
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • Salt
  • Pepper
For Salad:

  • Spinach or mixed greens
  • Kefalotiri cheese
  • Tomatos
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Olive Oil
Instructions

  1. If you have a whole fish, you are going to need to fillet it. I recommend using a YouTube video if you've never done it before.
  2. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
  3. Once you have your fillets, season with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper.Add chopped garlic cloves over the fish.
  4. Place in oven and cook for about 7-10 minutes. Keep an eye on the fish to make sure it does not overcook
  5. Once fish is done, serve with side salad of choice. To make the one pictured, just mix in the ingredients shown above.
  6. Enjoy =]
