Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as salmon or cod)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Once the oil is hot, add the fish fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable.
Step 4
Sear the fillets for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter.
Step 6
Allow the butter to melt, then add the minced garlic. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 7
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Cook the sauce for another minute, ensuring the ingredients are well combined.
Step 8
Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the lemon butter sauce over them to coat.
Step 9
Allow the fish to warm through for about 1-2 minutes before removing from the heat.
Step 10
Serve the seared fish fillets hot, garnished with a little extra parsley if desired.
