SkinnyMediterranean: Fish Piccata ‘All in one’ Dinner

Sharing is caring!

Skinnymixer’s Fish Piccata ‘All in one’ Dinner features in the Fast section of the cookbook SkinnyMediterranean. Fish Piccata: golden pan-seared fish fillets with a buttery lemon caper sauce. Light, fresh and full of Mediterranean flavour.

The Fish Piccata ‘All in one’ Dinner is a cookbook exclusive recipe…

This one’s pure Italian vibes – lemon, capers, herbs, and that silky sauce you’ll want to drink. Pan-fry the fish for a more traditional Piccata but I really love steaming the fish as an all-in-one dinner.

This Fish Piccata is the kind of dish that feels restaurant-fancy but is actually quick enough for a weeknight. Lightly floured fish fillets are pan-fried until golden (or you can steam in the top of the Thermomix), then drizzled with a simple but ridiculously good lemon caper butter sauce. It’s tangy, salty and fresh — everything you want from a Mediterranean-style dinner.

The buttered baby potatoes and thyme-infused green beans are the perfect pairing for the recipe. It’s one of those recipes that never fails to impress, yet comes together in under 30 minutes.

As always, you’ll find both Thermomix® and traditional stovetop methods in the SkinnyMediterranean version, so you can cook it however you prefer.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcook the fish – 2–3 minutes per side is usually enough.

• Deglaze the pan – scrape up all those golden bits when you add the lemon juice; that’s where the flavour is.

• Serve immediately – the sauce thickens and shines when freshly made.

FAQs

What type of fish works best?
Firm white fish such as snapper, barramundi, cod, or basa. Avoid delicate fillets that fall apart easily.

Can I use chicken instead?
Yes! Chicken piccata is just as delicious — cook until golden, then follow the same sauce steps.

Can I make it dairy-free?
Yes. Use olive oil instead of butter, or a dairy-free butter substitute.

Does it reheat well?
Best eaten fresh, but leftovers can be gently reheated on the stove with a splash of water or stock.
