Simple Fish Dinner with Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 fish fillets (such as salmon or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and paprika before placing them in the hot skillet.
2. Cook the fish for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
3. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the lemon juice and zest, stirring to combine with the garlic butter sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute to blend the flavors.
5. Return the cooked fish to the skillet, spooning the lemon garlic butter sauce over the fillets to coat them well.
6. Garnish the fish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
