Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Fish

Season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and a tablespoon of olive oil. Grill or fry the fish over medium heat until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side, then set aside to cool.

2

Prepare the Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine the lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced onions, pickles, sliced bell peppers, and cucumber.

3

Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil and lemon juice. Pour the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to combine.

4

Assemble the Salad

Flake the cooled fish into bite-sized pieces and add it to the salad. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and gently mix everything together.

5

Serve

Serve the fish salad immediately, garnished with additional lemon wedges if desired.
