🐟 Easy Fish Piccata

Pescatarian | Gluten-Free | Low Carb Friendly

Bright, briny, and beautifully balanced — this Easy Fish Piccata is a simple yet elegant dish that delivers big flavor with minimal effort. Lightly dredged white fish is pan-seared until golden, then bathed in a buttery lemon-caper sauce that’s equal parts zesty and comforting.

This meal is the definition of "pan-to-plate in under 30 minutes" and feels like something you'd order at a coastal bistro, all without leaving your kitchen. It's light enough for summer but satisfying enough to be enjoyed year-round.

Why It’s Good for You – Health Benefits

  • Lean Protein Source: White fish like haddock is low in fat but rich in protein and essential minerals like selenium, phosphorus, and B12.


  • Omega-3s for Brain & Heart Health: Though leaner than salmon, haddock still contains some omega-3s, great for supporting cognition and cardiovascular function.


  • Capers for a Nutrient Kick: These little flavor bombs are surprisingly rich in antioxidants and may help with inflammation and digestion.


  • Lemon Power: Lemon juice adds not just brightness but also a healthy dose of vitamin C to support immunity and skin health.


  • Naturally Low Carb & Gluten-Free: When made with a gluten-free flour blend, this dish fits low-carb and gluten-sensitive lifestyles with ease.


🍽️ Serving Suggestions & Tips:

  • Pair With: Serve over gluten-free pasta, creamy mashed cauliflower, or a bed of wilted spinach or arugula.

  • Make It Dairy-Free: Use olive oil or a vegan butter alternative instead of regular butter.

  • Want Extra Sauce? Double the stock, lemon, and capers — trust us, you’ll want something to mop it up with.

  • Not a fan of haddock? Sole, cod, or tilapia all work beautifully in this recipe.
