    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!

    Beef and Black Bean Stir-Fry: A Delicious, Hearty Meal for Stay-at-Home Parents

    As stay-at-home parents, we are always looking for quick and tasty meals that will feed our family and fit into our busy schedules. That’s why I love this beef and black bean stir-fry recipe. It comes together quickly, is packed with flavor, and is a hearty meal that everyone in the family will love. Plus, it’s easy to customize with whatever veggies you have on hand.

    I’ve been making this dish for years, ever since I was a child. My parents used to make it for us all the time – it was a favorite in our house. My mom would always tell me the story of how she came up with the recipe when she moved to America from China as a young adult. She was working full time and didn’t have much money or access to many ingredients. So she started making stir fries with whatever she had on hand – usually beef, beans, and whatever veggies were in season. She would season it with soy sauce and garlic, and the result was always delicious. I still make it today and it always reminds me of her.

    Now let’s get down to business – here’s what you need to make this delicious beef and black bean stir-fry:

    Ingredients:
    • 1 pound of lean ground beef
    • 1 can of black beans (15 ounces), drained
    • 1 red bell pepper, diced
    • 1 green bell pepper, diced
    • 1 onion, diced
    • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
    • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons of sesame oil
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Optional: 2 cups of cooked white or brown rice (for serving)

    Instructions:
    1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Break up any large pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.
    2. Add the diced bell peppers, onion, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened.
    3. Add the black beans and cook for an additional minute or two until heated through. Serve over cooked rice if desired. Enjoy!

    This dish is so easy to make – you can have dinner on the table in less than 20 minutes! Plus, it’s healthy – packed with protein from the beef and fiber from the black beans – so you can feel good about serving it to your family. Any leftovers make a great addition to lunch boxes or as part of another meal later in the week.

    I hope this recipe brings you as much joy as it brings me! Give it a try – your family will thank you!
