Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Dairy-free butter alternative
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 Zest of lemon
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the fish fillets in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour in the lemon juice, stirring well to combine with the garlic.
Add the dairy-free butter alternative to the skillet. Stir continuously until melted and the sauce becomes smooth.
Add the lemon zest and chopped parsley to the sauce and mix well.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the lemon butter sauce over the top. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the fish fillets hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
