Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as tilapia, cod, or salmon)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 piece Lemon (sliced into wedges)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a good sear.

Step 2

Season both sides of the fillets with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, ensuring even coverage.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to the pan and swirl to coat the surface evenly.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully place the fillets in the pan, skin-side down if applicable. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on the first side, without moving them, to create a golden-brown crust.

Step 7

Using a spatula, carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 4-5 minutes on the second side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the cooked fillets from the pan and transfer them to a serving plate.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fillets just before eating.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious and healthy Pan Broiled Fillets!
