Ingredients
-
4
white fish fillets (sole, cod, pollock, or tilapia)
-
salt and black pepper to taste
-
4 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
-
4 tablespoons
butter
-
juice of 1 lemon
-
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
Directions
-
In a shallow dish add flour. Season the fish with salt and pepper then gently press into the flour to coat. Shake off the excess flour.
-
In a large non-stick pan or cast iron skillet melt the butter over medium-high heat. When the butter begins to foam add the fish and then reduce the heat to medium.
-
Cook the fish 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a plate and keep warm.
-
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the lemon juice and chopped parsley. Spoon the lemon butter sauce over fish fillet.
-
Serve alongside boiled potatoes (like the Belgians do) and your favorite vegetables.
