Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet, presentation side down first.

Step 5

Cook the fish fillets for about 3-4 minutes on one side without moving them, to allow a golden crust to form.

Step 6

Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and opaque in the center.

Step 7

Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 8

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter.

Step 9

Allow the butter to melt and turn lightly golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Add the minced garlic to the browned butter, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 11

Stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 12

Simmer the sauce for a minute to blend the flavors.

Step 13

Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the lemon butter sauce over them to heat through.

Step 14

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 15

Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side if desired.
