Ingredients
- 2 pieces fish fillets (tilapia, cod, or snapper)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 piece lemon
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Pat both sides of the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
Season the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Step 4
Once the olive oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Carefully place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, without moving, until the edges start to turn golden brown.
Step 6
Flip the fillets gently using a spatula and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the fish evenly and sprinkle with dried parsley.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the fish fillets immediately with your choice of sides.
