High-Protein White Fish with Lemon Butter Sauce 🐟🍋

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Fish

1. Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to help them sear evenly.
2. Brush both sides of each fillet with olive oil.
3. Season evenly with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

2️⃣ Cook the Fish

1. Heat a large non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add a splash of oil if needed, then place fillets in the skillet.
3. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
4. Transfer cooked fillets to a plate and set aside.

3️⃣ Prepare the Lemon Butter Sauce

1. Lower the heat to medium and add butter and olive oil to the same skillet.
2. Once the butter is melted, stir in minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).
3. Add lemon juice, zest, and chopped parsley. Stir and let the sauce simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4️⃣ Assemble and Serve

1. Arrange the cooked fish fillets on a serving platter or individual plates.
2. Spoon the warm lemon butter sauce generously over each fillet.
3. Garnish with extra parsley and lemon slices for a fresh, vibrant finish.
