INGREDIENTS NOTES:

FISH:

• We can use mild, flaky fish such as cod, tilapia, halibut, or sole for your white fish fillets. These varieties blend well with garlic butter and cook rapidly. We can pat dry the fillets for the excellent sear, whether they are fresh or thawed from the freezer.

BUTTER:

• Butter contributes a deep taste and aids in the creation of a smooth, creamy sauce. Unsalted butter is the best option to properly regulate the seasoning.

GARLIC:

• We can use fresh garlic cloves which give the most potent and fragrant taste. We can use minced garlic to make it more flavorful.

OLIVE OIL:

• Olive oil may be used to sear fish and give it a lovely golden crust without burning because olive oil has a higher smoke point than butter. We should use both extra-virgin and mild olive oils are effective.

LEMON JUICE:

• I use fresh lemon juice which balances the richness of the butter and adds brightness to the meal. We can use the bottle of lemon juice in an emergency, although fresh is preferable.

SALT & PEPPER:

• Fish must be seasoned with salt and pepper. We can use freshly ground black pepper and salt for optimal taste.

PAPRIKA:

• Paprika gives the fish a lovely golden-red color and a delicate smoky flavor. You can utilize both sweet and smoked paprika both what you want.

PARSLEY:

• We can garnish the dish with parsley.

LEMON SLICES:

• We can put the lemon slices on the side that is squeezed over the fish immediately before consumption to balance the buttery sauce and provide brightness.
