Step 1
Pat the 4 fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Place 0.5 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, until lightly coated.
Step 3
Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the fish fillets in a single layer, working in batches if needed. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 5
Transfer the fish to a plate and immediately sprinkle with 0.25 cup chopped parsley and 2 tbsp chopped dill.
Step 6
Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the fish for squeezing over the top.
