Pescado al Ajillo | Easy and Delicious Recipe

Gather and measure all necessary ingredients for the recipe.

Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Season both sides of the fish fillets with salt, black pepper, and a sprinkle of paprika.

Finely chop the garlic cloves.

Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat and sauté the chopped garlic until golden and fragrant.

Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley to the garlic oil mixture.

In a large skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Place the seasoned fish fillets in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Pour the prepared garlic sauce over the cooked fish fillets in the skillet.

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fish for added flavor.

Serve the pescado al ajillo hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
