Directions

1. Prepare fish. heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add leek, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir until leek begins to soften, about 2 minutes.

4. While fish is cooking, prepare vegetables. Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add green beans. Cook and stir until sizzling, about 15 seconds. Add water and cover skillet. Cook about 2 minutes, until most of the liquid evaporates.
5. Add bell pepper and salt. Cook and stir until beans and peppers are tender, butstill crisp.
6. Divide vegetables among four plates. Using a slotted spoon or spatula, place onepiece of fish onto each plate. If using, garnish each plate with 2 lemon wedges.
