Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) Fish steaks (salmon, tuna, or swordfish)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) Parsley
- 1 whole (cut into wedges) Lemon
Instructions
1. Pat the fish steaks dry with a paper towel and set them aside on a plate.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Brush the marinade generously over both sides of the fish steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the fish marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the pan.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the pan if needed.
5. Once the skillet is hot, place the fish steaks into the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fish, until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcooking as the fish can become dry.
6. Reduce the heat to low and add the unsalted butter to the pan. Allow the butter to melt and become slightly browned, stirring it around the fish steaks.
7. Spoon the butter over the fish steaks to baste them, then sprinkle the parsley on top for a fresh, herbal finish.
8. Remove the fish steaks from the pan and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
9. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or a side salad for a complete meal.
