Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon zest of orange
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season both sides with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge each fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Cook the fish fillets in the skillet for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat slightly and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 6

Pour in the orange juice and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 7

Add the orange zest and allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 8

Gradually stir in the heavy cream and season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

Step 9

Continue to simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 10

Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the orange creme sauce over the top to coat them.

Step 11

Simmer for 2 more minutes to warm the fish through and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Transfer the fish to serving plates, drizzle with the orange creme sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice.
