Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet Non-stick recommended for best results
  • 1 Spatula For flipping fish easily
  • 1 Mixing bowl Medium-sized for marinating fish
  • 1 Baking dish or tray Optional, if baking instead of pan-searing

Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Alaska pollock fresh or thawed about 6 oz each
  • 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin preferred
  • 2 cloves garlic minced finely
  • 1 medium lemon juice and zest
  • 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp paprika optional for color and mild heat
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Fillets: Pat Alaska pollock fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  • Marinate: In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Add pollock fillets to the marinade, coating evenly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.
  • Cook the Fish: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated pollock fillets, cooking 4–5 minutes per side or until fish is golden brown and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Optional Baking Method: Alternatively, bake marinated pollock fillets at 400Β°F (200Β°C) on a lined baking sheet for about 12–15 minutes or until cooked through.
  • Rest and Garnish: Let cooked pollock rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley generously before serving.
  • Serve: Serve warm with steamed vegetables, rice, or your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add your favorite herbs such as dill, basil, or cilantro to the marinade.
  • To avoid dryness, do not overcook pollock; cook until just opaque and flaky.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with quinoa, couscous, roasted potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
