Steps
Finely chop the parsley and garlic. Place them in a small bowl.
Add the paprika and black pepper to the bowl and mix well with the parsley and garlic.
Squeeze the two lemons over the mixture and add the olive oil. Stir until you have a uniform aromatic oil.
Pat the fish fillets very dry with paper towels. This helps them brown instead of releasing too much water into the pan.
Place the fillets in a dish and massage both sides with the oil, lemon, and spice mixture, making sure they are well coated.
Cover the dish and let the fish rest for a minimum of 20 minutes so it can absorb the flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt without allowing it to burn.
Add the marinated fillets to the skillet. Brown them on both sides until opaque in the center, fully cooked, and juicy; the cooking time will depend on the thickness, approximately 3-5 minutes per side.
Serve immediately. You can serve the fish with brown rice, as suggested by the author.
