Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups Cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.75 cup Dry marsala wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken or fish stock
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the fish fillets with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a shallow dish, spread the flour and lightly dredge each fish fillet, shaking off excess flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the fish and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly browned.
Pour in the marsala wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Add the chicken or fish stock and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, reducing the sauce slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Simmer for 3-5 minutes to heat the fish through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or steamed vegetables.
