Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to make a simple marinade.
Step 3
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Step 4
In another small bowl, mix together the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Step 6
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 7
Once the skillet is hot, place the fish fillets in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 8
Remove the fish from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
