Ingredients
- 4 6-8 oz. sablefish filets
- ¾ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¾ teaspoon pepper, divided
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic (from about 2 cloves)
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1 lemon)
- ¼ cup low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
- Chopped parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Pat sablefish filets dry with paper towels and coat with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper.
- Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add sablefish filets skin-side down. Cook for 4 minutes and then flip. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the fish is starting to turn golden and flakes easily with a fork. If you're using a meat thermometer, you'll want the internal temperature to be 145°F.
- While fish is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Once melted, add in garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Stir in lemon juice and vegetable or chicken broth. Let mixture come to a simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Mix in additional ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper and taste. Add more if desired.
- When ready to serve, spoon lemon butter sauce over sablefish filets and top with chopped parsley.
