A delicious recipe for pan-seared fish with a creamy herb sauce and baby potatoes, perfect for an elegant weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 white fish fillets (cod, haddock or halibut)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 1/2 lbs baby potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15–18 minutes. Drain and toss with olive oil or butter, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  2. Pat fish dry and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high. Sear fish 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.
  4. In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in cream, Dijon, dill, parsley, and lemon juice. Simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return fish to pan and spoon sauce over to coat. Serve hot with herbed baby potatoes.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or cast iron skillet for best sear.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan — sear fish in batches if needed.
  • Substitute cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free twist.
