Ingredients

• 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or halibut)
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until they are golden brown and flake easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Deglaze the skillet by adding the water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the liquid reduce for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey to make the vinaigrette.

Step 6

Pour the vinaigrette into the skillet with the reduced liquid and stir to combine. Let the vinaigrette warm for 1-2 minutes, but do not boil.

Step 7

Return the fish fillets to the skillet and spoon the warm vinaigrette over the fish. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.

Step 8

Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the fish immediately, drizzled with the vinaigrette, alongside your favorite side dishes like steamed vegetables or rice.
