Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pollock fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Pat the pollock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Season both sides of each fillet with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Step 3
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish and lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. This will help create a crispy crust.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 5
When the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the fillets to the pan, making sure not to crowd them.
Step 6
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the fish easily releases from the pan.
Step 7
Flip each fillet carefully using a spatula and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the melted butter as it cooks.
Step 8
Cook the second side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 9
Remove the fillets from the pan and place them on a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Step 10
Enjoy your perfectly pan-fried pollock!
