Crispy fish medallions

Method

1. Defrost the fish: Remove the fish fillets from the freezer and place them in the refrigerator for a few hours or until fully defrosted. Alternatively, you can thaw them under cold running water in a sealed plastic bag.
2. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
3. Prepare the spice mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
4. Grease the fish: Drizzle the olive oil over the fish fillets, making sure to coat them evenly. Then, rub each piece of fish with the prepared spice mixture, covering all sides.
5. Slice the zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly and cut it into thin slices, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
6. Wrap the fish: Take a few slices of zucchini and wrap them around each seasoned fish fillet. The zucchini should cover the fish entirely, creating a beautiful green wrap.
7. Grease the baking dish: Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
8. Place the wrapped fish in the baking dish: Carefully place the zucchini-wrapped fish fillets in the prepared baking dish.
9. Bake the fish: Put the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the fish, so keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
10. Serve and enjoy: Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the oven and serve immediately. You can garnish it with some fresh herbs like parsley or dill, and perhaps a lemon wedge for added flavor. This zucchini-wrapped baked fish makes for a delicious and healthy meal.
11. Bon appétit!
