Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt, such as Fage 2-percent
  2. 1 cup whole parsley leaves
  3. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  4. 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from 1/2 lemon
  5. 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, from 1 lemon
  6. 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  7. 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  8. 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  9. 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  10. 1/4 cup quick-mixing flour, such as Wondra
  11. 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  12. 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  13. Four 6-ounce red snapper fillets, skinned and boned
  14. 4 slices rustic bread
  15. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  16. 2 cups baby arugula
  17. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  18. 1/2 lemon
  19. Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. For the sauce: Place the yogurt, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, cumin, pepper and salt in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula as needed, about 30 seconds. Set aside
  2. For the fish: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour with the coriander and salt. Dredge each fillet in the seasoned flour and coat well. Shake off excess flour, then add the fillets to the hot pan. Cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked most of the way through. Carefully flip, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.
  3. To assemble: Brush the bread slices with the olive oil and toast on a grill or grill pan over high heat for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  4. Spread each slice with a few tablespoons of the sauce and place a fish fillet on top. Add another dollop of sauce and scatter over some arugula and cherry tomatoes. Add a squeeze of lemon, season with salt and serve.

Maria Proctor
Made this and it was SO good. Used cilantro vs parsely b/c we had it on hand and still yummy. Followed directions to a tee and used Italian bread. Also used frozen snapper fillets and would do so again. Love this easy weeknight fave.
Bethany Weber
Perfect balanced meal with a nice departure from meat/potatoes/veg.
