Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Rockfish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cup White wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Season the rockfish fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Lightly dredge the fish fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6
Stir in the capers, white wine, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes to let it reduce slightly.
Step 7
Return the cooked rockfish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to reheat and coat the fish.
Step 8
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
