Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Rockfish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained and rinsed
- 0.25 cup White wine
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Season the rockfish fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Lightly dredge the fish fillets in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the capers, white wine, and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes to let it reduce slightly.
Return the cooked rockfish fillets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to reheat and coat the fish.
Sprinkle the dish with fresh parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
