Quick and easy fish fillet recipe

PAN FRIED FISH

Hello everyone!

If you have less than 15 minutes to prepare and serve dinner and your family is a fan of seafood, then this recipe is a must know. A quick, easy and healthy pan fried fish fillet recipe that gets ready in less than 10 mins. You just need to prepare a nice marinade for the fillet and pan fry it. I am a fan of pan frying as it is a healthier option as opposed to shallow or deep frying. Pan frying is a quick and healthy option to prepare fillets or steaks where you just need to evenly coat a nice non stick pan or skillet with very less fat, heat the pan and fry. You can also serve the fillet with tossed or stir fried veggies and rice to make a complete meal.

Here goes the recipe...
