Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 ounces each) Wahoo fish fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 4 pieces (for garnish) Lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the wahoo fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the wahoo fillets to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the fillets from the skillet and set them aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Let it melt completely.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the lemon juice and let it cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Turn off the heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley into the sauce.
Pour the lemon butter sauce over the seared wahoo fillets.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for garnish.
