Folks! This white fish recipe could. not. be. easier! I’m not exaggerating even one bit when I say this will not take you a second over 10 minutes and only one pan. You can’t even go through a drive-thru that fast and you certainly wouldn’t eat as nutritiously and deliciously for so little time investment. The flavor of this white fish is great too! I hope you’ll enjoy such a simple, fast, yummy meal that will feed a family.

    We made this last night using Turbot filets. Our pan is a GreenPan nonstick which I know from experience will burn the garlic if added first. So, I added the garlic to flavor the oil, then took the garlic chunks out and put them in a bowl. I returned the garlic to the pan after the fish had nearly cooked. We debated using the old standard of lemon instead of lime, but the lime was wonderful. This recipe is easy and very delicious. This will go in the regular lineup.

    How crucial is the garlic…I mean, it is in the title, I realize…but I have to be low-FODMAP too. 🙁

      Hi Amy! Many times garlic can be left out if you are trying to avoid FODMAPs.
