Equipment

  • Large non-stick skillet
  • Fish spatula
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Tongs
  • Microplane or fine grater

Ingredients
  

  • 4 (6-ounce) fillets Sustainable White Fish Fillets
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1, finely chopped Shallot
  • 2 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 1/2 cup White Wine
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh Parsley
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh Thyme

Instructions
 

  • Season the fish fillets - Pat the fish fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Set aside.
  • Dredge the fish in flour - In a small mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour. Dredge both sides of each fish fillet in the flour and shake off any excess.
  • Sear the fish fillets - Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish fillets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a fish spatula to carefully flip the fish fillets, if needed.
  • Make the citrus herb sauce - Remove the fish fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a plate. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the white wine, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley and chopped thyme.
  • Plate and serve - Arrange the fish fillets on plates and spoon the citrus herb sauce over the top. Serve immediately.
