    Fried Fish with Garlic and Lemon Sauce

    If you’re looking for a delicious and easy fish dish that doesn’t require too much time, effort, or money, then this fried fish with garlic and lemon sauce is the perfect recipe for you. This dish is one of my favorites as a stay-at-home parent of two young kids. It is quick to prepare and can be served as an appetizer or a main course. Plus, it is sure to please all ages!

    Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

    • 4 white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • Chopped parsley for garnish

    The first step in making this dish is to heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the garlic and stir until fragrant. Then add the fish fillets, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes per side. Once the fish is cooked through and lightly browned on both sides, remove from the heat and set aside.

    Next, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the lemon juice to the melted butter and stir until combined. Pour this sauce over the cooked fish fillets and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or potatoes.

    This fried fish with garlic and lemon sauce has been a staple in our house ever since I was a kid growing up in Canada. My mom would make this dish for dinner all the time because it was such an easy meal to throw together on busy weeknights. The combination of flavors—the salty fried fish, tangy lemon sauce, and fragrant garlic—was always so comforting yet flavorful at the same time.

    Now that I’m older and have my own family to care for, I still find myself turning to this classic dish when I need something fast and delicious without spending too much time or money. Whether it’s served as an appetizer or dinner entrée, this fried fish with garlic and lemon sauce will always be one of my favorite recipes!

    Grilled Scallops with Lemon and Parsley Sauce

    As a stay at home parent, I know how important it is to have a few tried-and-true dinner recipes on hand. On nights when dinner needs to be ready in a pinch, I always turn to my favorite meal of grilled scallops with lemon and parsley sauce. Not only is it incredibly delicious, but it’s also incredibly simple to make.

    Whenever I make this dish, I can’t help but recall the time I made it for my family at a dinner party. Everyone was so impressed with the presentation and the taste that they kept asking for seconds. It’s one of those meals that you know will be a hit every time.

    To make this meal, you’ll need:
    • 1 lb of scallops
    • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
    • Juice of 1 lemon
    • 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Begin by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley and salt and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined. Then take your scallops and place them on skewers (if using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling). Once the grill is heated brush some of the marinade onto each scallop and place them on the grill for about 4 minutes per side or until they are lightly charred and cooked through. Once cooked through, brush some more marinade on top and serve with lemon wedges.

    This dish always goes over well with my family and friends because it has such a fresh flavor that isn’t overpowering. The garlic adds just enough zing while the parsley adds a nice herbal note that really brings out all of the flavors in this dish. Plus, it takes no time at all to prepare so it’s perfect for busy weeknights!

    If you’re looking for a tasty dinner that can be prepared quickly and easily, then you should definitely give grilled scallops with lemon and parsley sauce a try! It’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters in your family.
