Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Pollock fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Pat the pollock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Season both sides of each fillet with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Place the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish and lightly dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. This will help create a crispy crust.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
When the oil is shimmering but not smoking, add the fillets to the pan, making sure not to crowd them.
Cook the fillets for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until the bottoms are golden brown and the fish easily releases from the pan.
Flip each fillet carefully using a spatula and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Use a spoon to baste the fish with the melted butter as it cooks.
Cook the second side for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the pan and place them on a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
Enjoy your perfectly pan-fried pollock!
