Gourmet Pan-Seared Fish Fillets with Citrus Zest
Ingredients:
- Fish fillets (I used catfish)
- 1 Lemon
- 1 tbsp Capers
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Seafood magic seasoning
Directions:
- Begin by generously seasoning your fish with an all-purpose seafood seasoning blend. Ensure each fillet is coated with flavor for an exquisite taste.
- Heat a pan to medium-high, adding just enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) to thinly coat the pan. Introduce a couple of tablespoons of butter to the sizzling mix.
- Carefully place the seasoned fish in the pan and let them cook until achieving a delightful golden brown, typically taking around 4 to 5 minutes on one side. Add sliced lemon, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a teaspoonful of capers for a burst of zesty goodness.
- Flip the fish and allow the other side to cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, adjusting the heat to medium. The result is a perfectly seared exterior with a moist and flavorful interior.
- Elevate your dining experience by pairing this culinary masterpiece with a refreshing tomato and arugula salad. This not only adds a keto-friendly touch but also enhances the overall dish with a delightful combination of flavors.
