Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or snapper)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Place the flour on a shallow plate. Lightly dredge each fish fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the fish fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside on a plate, covering loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the fish through.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. Pair with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
