Garlic Fish with White Onion 'Zoodles'

Ingredients

• 12 oz fish
• 1 large white onion
• 2 tbsp light olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp white pepper
• 0.25 cup white wine
• 1 tbsp parsley flakes
• 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions

1. 1Thinly slice the large white onion into 'zoodle-like' strips using a mandoline or vegetable peeler.
2. 2Heat 1 tablespoon of light olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion strips and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
3. 3Pat the fish fillets dry. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of light olive oil and the unsalted butter over medium-high heat.
4. 4Add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder to the hot oil and butter, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
5. 5Place the fish fillets in a single layer in the skillet. Season with salt and white pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the fish is opaque and cooked through.
6. 6If desired, deglaze the pan by adding the white wine. Let it reduce slightly, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
7. 7Return the sautéed onion strips to the skillet with the cooked fish. Gently toss to combine the flavors.
8. 8Garnish with parsley flakes and, if desired, a small sprinkle of shredded mozzarella. Serve immediately.
