Zesty Lemon Butter Fish Fillet
Ingredients  

4 white fish fillets (such as cod, tilapia, or haddock)  
2 tablespoons olive oil  
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika  
¼ teaspoon Mama Put
For the Lemon Butter Sauce:  
4 tablespoons butter  
2 tablespoons olive oil  
4 cloves garlic, minced  
Juice and zest of 2 lemons  
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped  
Salt and pepper to taste  
For Garnish:  
Lemon slices  
Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Season the fish by drizzling with olive oil and cover both sides with salt, pepper, paprika, onions, and Mama Put Yaji Blend.  
2. Heat a large skill over medium-high heat and add fish fillets. Cook until the fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.  
3. Prepare the lemon butter sauce in the same skillet, reducing the heat to medium and adding butter and olive oil.  
4. Add the minced garlic once the butter has melted, cooking for 1-2 minutes.  
5. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes.   
6. Plate the fish and drizzle the lemon butter sauce over the fish fillets, then garnish with lemon slices and additional chopped parsley.
