Dairy-Free Keto Spanish Mackerel with Green Beans

Ingredients

• 2 6 oz Mackerel fillets
• 8 oz Green beans
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C).
2. 2While the skillet heats, season the 2 6 oz Mackerel fillets on both sides with the 1/4 teaspoon Salt, 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika.
3. 3Carefully place the seasoned mackerel fillets into the hot skillet, skin-side down. Sear for 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mackerel is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
4. 4Remove the cooked mackerel fillets from the skillet and place them on a plate. Set them aside to rest briefly.
5. 5Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add the 8 oz Green beans and the 2 cloves Garlic, which should be minced. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp and the garlic is fragrant.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the 1 tablespoon Lemon juice with the green beans and garlic.
7. 7Serve the 2 6 oz Mackerel fillets alongside the sauteed green beans with garlic and lemon juice.
