Gremolata-Crusted Fish Fillets

Gremolata is a homemade Italian condiment that’s traditionally composed of fresh garlic, parsley and lemon peel. Commonly served with meat and seafood, it elevates the flavor of any protein you wish to serve.

Our weekend recipe pairs gremolata with fresh fish fillets for a restaurant-quality entree. Use the Environmental Defense Fund’s Seafood Selector to choose a sustainable fish.
