Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (such as cod, halibut, or tilapia)
- 1 large green apple, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup golden raisins
- 0.25 cup pecans, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt.
Add the thinly sliced green apple to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
Stir in the golden raisins and chopped pecans, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the raisins are plump and the pecans are lightly toasted.
Drizzle the lemon juice into the skillet, stirring to combine all the flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the apple, raisin, and pecan mixture over the top. Allow everything to warm through for 2 minutes.
Transfer the fish to serving plates, spooning the topping over each fillet. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
