Ingredients:
- 4 white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
Step 1: Cook the Fish
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the fish fillets with salt and pepper, then cook for 3-4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cream Sauce
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the lemon juice, and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Serve
- Return the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let them warm through for a minute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the fish with your choice of sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Pro Tips:
- Fish Variations: You can use salmon, sea bass, or any firm white fish for this recipe.
- Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a splash of white wine to the sauce for depth.
- Serve with Sides: Pair this dish with roasted veggies, sautéed spinach, or a light salad.
