Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, halibut, or snapper)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Canned artichoke hearts, quartered and drained
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Dredge the fillets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add two fish fillets. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Repeat with the remaining olive oil, butter, and fish fillets.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the quartered artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring gently.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits for added flavor.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and capers. Let the sauce cook for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 8

Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the fish and serve immediately with your favorite side dish, such as rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
