Step 1
Place the 1 lb fish fillets in a skillet and add water to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the fish and let it cool slightly. Flake the fish into large chunks, removing any bones.
Step 3
In a food processor, combine the flaked fish, 1 cup heavy cream, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 2 garlic cloves, 0.25 cup dill, 0.25 cup parsley, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper.
Step 4
Pulse the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Step 5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
Step 6
Serve chilled with crackers, crostini, or fresh vegetables. Garnish with extra dill or a lemon wedge if you like.
