Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces whiting fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 whole lemon
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
Pat the whiting fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each fillet lightly in the all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the whiting fillets to the skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and place on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Allow it to melt, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze its juice into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the butter and garlic. Let the sauce simmer for another minute.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it into the skillet. Stir well and pour the sauce over the cooked whiting fillets.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or rice, and garnish with extra parsley if desired.
