Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat the 1.5 lb fish fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a large skillet, melt the 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the fish fillets to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Cover and cook until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 8 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle with the 2 tbsp chopped parsley and serve hot.
