Ingredients
- 4 pieces rockfish fillets
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lemon
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Pat the rockfish fillets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper.
Step 2
Juice one lemon and set the juice aside. Slice the second lemon into thin rounds for garnish.
Step 3
Finely mince the garlic and parsley, keeping them separate.
Step 4
Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly dredge each rockfish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt.
Step 6
Add the floured rockfish fillets to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
Step 8
Pour in the lemon juice and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping off any browned bits. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 9
Return the rockfish fillets to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece, and warm for 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
Sprinkle the minced parsley over the fish and garnish with lemon slices.
Step 11
Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a light salad.
