Ingredients

4 servings

4 white fish fillets (cod, halibut, or tilapia), about 6 oz each, ¾ to 1 inch thick
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ cup all-purpose flour
Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 2 tablespoons of flour is low in FODMAPs. This recipe contains only about 3 teaspoons per serving, making it likely Low FODMAP. If you prefer to always avoid flour, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
2 tbsp neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable oil)

For the pan sauce

2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

For serving

lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Pat the fish fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels, then season both sides evenly with the salt and pepper. Dredge each fillet lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess so only a thin, even coating remains.
2
Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and just beginning to smoke. Add the fillets presentation-side down, leaving at least 1 inch of space between them, and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and the fillet releases cleanly from the pan.
