Juicy Fish Fillets with Paprika, Lemon, and Garlic

Ingredients

• 15 g Fresh parsley (Finely chopped)
• 3 dientes Garlic (Finely chopped)
• 2 tbsp Paprika
• 2 tbsp Ground black pepper
• 2 Lemons (Squeezed; use the juice)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 White fish fillets (Approximately 150 g per fillet; pat them very dry before marinating)
• 1 tbsp Butter (For browning the fillets)

Steps

1. 1

   Finely chop the parsley and garlic. Place them in a small bowl.

2. 2

   Add the paprika and black pepper to the bowl and mix well with the parsley and garlic.

3. 3

   Squeeze the two lemons over the mixture and add the olive oil. Stir until you have a uniform aromatic oil.

4. 4

   Pat the fish fillets very dry with paper towels. This helps them brown instead of releasing too much water into the pan.

5. 5

   Place the fillets in a dish and massage both sides with the oil, lemon, and spice mixture, making sure they are well coated.

6. 6

   Cover the dish and let the fish rest for a minimum of 20 minutes so it can absorb the flavors.

7. 7

   Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt without allowing it to burn.

8. 8

   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.

9. 9

   Serve immediately. You can serve the fish with brown rice, as suggested by the author.
