Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 3

Place the fish fillets in a shallow dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the fish, ensuring all fillets are evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.

Step 4

Once marinated, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Remove the fish from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Carefully place the fillets in the hot skillet.

Step 6

Sauté the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fillets are golden brown and cooked through. The center of the fish should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

Step 7

Transfer the fish to a serving plate and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
