Ingredients:

  • 4 fillets of whiting fish (about 6 ounces each or 170g)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (30g)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (60g), softened
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon (15ml)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the whiting fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper. Dust with flour, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, lemon zest, parsley, dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well to incorporate all ingredients.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently place the fillets in the pan (skin-side down if applicable). Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and fish flakes easily.
  4. Remove fish from the pan and transfer to plates. Top each fillet generously with the lemon herb butter and allow it to melt over the fish.
  5. Garnish with extra herbs if desired, and serve immediately.
