Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Wahoo fish fillets
• 1 teaspoon Salt

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic

Directions

Step 1

Pat the wahoo fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt completely.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
