Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the white fish fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a nice sear. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper, then lightly coat each fillet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, gently place the floured fish fillets into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown, then flip the fillets with a spatula to cook the other side.
- Continue cooking the fish for another 3-4 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Once done, carefully remove the fish from the skillet and transfer them to a warm plate, covering them loosely with foil.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, stir in 2 cloves of minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, pour in the fresh lemon juice and chicken or vegetable broth, scraping up browned bits.
- Add capers to the skillet and allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Return the cooked fish fillets back to the skillet, spooning the lemon caper sauce generously over the top. Heat through for another minute or two.
- Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the fish fillets are patted dry before seasoning to achieve a beautiful sear and prevent sticking.
