Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2

    Place 0.5 cup flour in a shallow dish. Dredge each fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, until lightly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer the fish to a plate and immediately sprinkle with 0.25 cup chopped parsley and 2 tbsp chopped dill.

  6. Step 6

    Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the fish for squeezing over the top.
