Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 firm white fish fillets (about 6 inches long, 1-inch thick (recommend paiche or tilapia))
  • 2 tablespoons Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt (melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus extra to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • zest and juice from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • lemon slices for serving

Instruction

  • In a small bowl, combine melted butter with olive oil and sea salt, lemon juice, and zest. Stir to combine.
  • In a separate bowl, combine salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  • Evenly sprinkle spice mixture onto both sides of fish fillets.
  • In a large, heavy pan over medium-high heat, heat olive oil until hot. Cook 2 fish fillets at a time to avoid overcrowding, which allows for even browning. Cook each side 3 to 4 minutes just until fish becomes opaque, feels somewhat firm in the center, and is browned.
  • Lightly drizzle some of the lemon butter sauce as you cook, reserving the rest for serving.
  • Serve fish with remaining lemon butter sauce, cilantro, and lemon slices.
