Ingredients

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup red onion, minced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Pinch sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves, tightly packed, finely chopped, divided

Fish:

  • 4 8-ounce fish fillets, such as mahi mahi, yellowtail snapper or grouper
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Zest and juice from 1 lemon
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

  1. To make sauce, combine onion, garlic, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper and let stand at room temperature while fish cooks. Just before serving, whisk in oil and 3 tablespoons chopped mint. (Reserve remaining tablespoon of mint for garnish.)
  2. Heat the oven to 400 F. Oil a sheet pan. Place fish in pan, skin-side down, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, oregano, about a teaspoon of lemon zest and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Roast uncovered just until fish is cooked through (no longer opaque), about 5-10 minutes depending on thickness of fish.
  3. To serve, spoon sauce over the fish and garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped mint leaves.
