Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 0.75 cup Dry marsala wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken or fish stock
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, spread the flour and lightly dredge each fish fillet, shaking off excess flour.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.

Step 6

Pour in the marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.

Step 7

Add the chicken or fish stock and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, reducing the sauce slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 9

Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to heat the fish through.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
