This Citrus Marinated Wolffish recipe makes for a satisfying lunch or light dinner full of fresh flavor, good protein, and zippy citrus. The star of the dish are the mild and tender wolffish filets, marinated in a zesty blend of orange, lemon, and lime juices. The marinade, enriched with olive oil, fresh cracked pepper, champagne vinegar, Dijon mustard, and capers, infuses the fish with a delightful balance of sweetness and acidity.
This recipe is inspired by Mediterranean and tropical cuisines, which are known for enhancing the natural flavors of fresh seafood with bright, tangy citrus fruits. Wolffish is a firm, yet slightly flaky fish that absorbs marinades well. The entire dish is light and healthy, packed with protein, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids.
