1
Prepare the Ingredients
Rinse the fresh fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

3
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers but does not smoke.
4
Cook the Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the hot oil and sauté for about 1 minute, or until it turns golden brown and fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
5
Pan Fry the Fish
Gently place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
6
Serve
Once cooked, remove the fish from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining garlic oil from the skillet over the fish. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
