Butter-fried white fish with lemon and garlic – simple everyday luxury in 15 minutes

When you want to cook something quick, tasty and easy, butter-fried white fish is a great choice. Juicy fish fillets are given a beautiful golden brown frying surface and cooked in an aromatic butter with garlic and lemon. Fresh parsley and an extra squeeze of lemon on top give the dish a fresh finish.

This is a simple everyday dish that requires few ingredients and is just as suitable for a quick lunch as for a slightly more festive dinner.

✨ Why the fish is so good

• Dry fish gives a better frying surface: Dry the fillets thoroughly before frying to give them a nice golden brown surface.
• Butter, garlic and lemon: The flavorful butter gives the fish a fullness while the lemon adds fresh acidity.
• Short cooking time: White fish usually does not need a long time in the pan. Keep an eye on the thickness of the fillets so that they do not become dry.
• Easy to vary: Cod, haddock, saithe or other solid white fish works well in the recipe.
