Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the skillet is hot, add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

Step 9

Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Step 10

Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
