Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces white fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic to make a simple marinade.
Rub the marinade evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
In another small bowl, mix together the paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the fish fillets.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Once the skillet is hot, place the fish fillets in the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fish from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
