  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for cooking
  • 1 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • In a skillet on medium heat add the olive oil and butter and bring the temperature to about 350° then add the fish fillet.
  • Cook the first side of the fish until it is nearly opaque half the thickness, about 4 minutes.
  • Turn and cook until the whole thickness of the fish is opaque and the internal temperature is around 136° to 138°, about 4 more minutes. Turn off the heat and cover for 2 minutes. The internal temperature should now be at least 145°.
  • Serve right away.
