Fish Filet

Method

Prepare the Fish

  1. 1

    Marinate the Fish

    In a bowl, combine the white fish fillets with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Fish

    Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated fish fillets and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Prepare the Creole Sauce

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil if needed. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  2. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes start to break down.

  3. 5

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for an additional 10 minutes until it thickens slightly.

  4. 6

    Combine Fish with Sauce

    Return the cooked fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the creole sauce over them. Let it cook together for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 7

    Finish with Cilantro

    Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the fish and sauce before serving.
