Fish

Mashed Potatoes

Lemon Butter

Method

Fish

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fish

    Rinse the Lake Superior Whitefish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Fish

    Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly on both sides of the fish fillets.

  3. 3

    Cook the Fish

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the fillets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Drizzle with lemon juice before serving.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 4

    Boil the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into uniform pieces. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 5

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and black pepper. Use a potato masher or electric mixer to mash until smooth and creamy.

Lemon Butter

  1. 6

    Prepare the Lemon Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until garlic is fragrant.
