1
Season the Fish
Pat the filet of fish dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
2
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the fish.
3
Sear the Fish
Carefully place the fish filets in the hot skillet, skin-side down if applicable. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and the fish releases easily from the pan.
4
Flip and Finish Cooking
Using a spatula, gently flip the fish and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through and opaque.

5
Melt the Butter
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
6
Add Garlic and Lemon Juice
Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in fresh lemon juice.
7
Finish with Parsley
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
