This Fish with Creamy Lemon-Garlic Sauce is what simple and delicious food is all about. We’re talking a ton of flavors, easy to make, and all done in about 20 minutes. Serve it next to some roasted potatoes, a garden salad, and a bottle of Spanish white wine from Alicante for a great meal.
To make this recipe, I used fish fillets I bought frozen and thawed out. You can also use fresh fish here if you prefer. I used cod, but you can use any other type of firm white fish. Such as tilapia, halibut, or hake, which is known as merluza in Spain.
To make the creamy lemon-garlic sauce, I used a combination of white wine, lemon juice, flour, and some herbs. If wine is not your thing, you can substitute it for any broth of your choice.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: It took me about 3 to 4 minutes per side to fully cook the pieces of fish. Of course, it might take you less or more. Just keep an eye on the fish to not overcook it. Otherwise, it can get a tough texture.

- 1/2 tsp onion powder 1.25 grams

Instructions
-
Heat a large fry pan with a medium heat and add in the olive oil

-
Add the 1/2 cup flour into a bowl, along with the garlic powder and onion powder, mix together, then coat each piece of fish in the flour
-
Add the pieces of fish into the hot fry pan, fry for 3 to 4 minutes per side or until just cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside
