Instructions
Step 1: Marinate the Proteins
- The secret to juicy, flavorful shark fish and chicken lies in a good marinade. Follow these steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk together:
- o 2 tbsp olive oil
- o 1 tbsp lemon juice
- o 1 tbsp honey
- o 1 tsp mustard
- o 1 tsp ground cumin
- Place the shark fish fillets and chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the proteins, making sure both the fish and chicken are evenly coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to soak in and the proteins to tenderize.
Step 2: Sear the Shark Fish and Chicken
- While your proteins marinate, heat up your skillet or grill pan to medium-high heat. Here’s how you’ll cook them:
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in your pan, swirling it to coat the bottom evenly.
- Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until it becomes fragrant.
- Add the marinated shark fish fillets to the pan and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. You want the fish to become opaque and flaky but not overcooked.
- Next, add the chicken breasts to the same pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- o Pro Tip: If the chicken breasts are thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness before cooking for more consistent results.
Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches
- After both the shark fish and chicken are cooked to perfection, it’s time to finish off the dish:
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the proteins for a bright, zesty finish.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
- Serve immediately, paired with your favorite sides, like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
