Easy & With Gordon Ramsay
Make restaurant-quality fish with Gordon Ramsay's techniques at home. Easy pan-seared white fish with vegetables and creamy Greek yogurt sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 white fish fillets (6 oz each, such as halibut or cod)
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mixed mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and halved
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
Instructions
- 1
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with sea salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, allowing the seasoning to adhere for 2-3 minutes.
- 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers, about 2 minutes.
- 3
Place the fish fillets skin-side down into the hot skillet and sear without moving them for 4-5 minutes, until the skin becomes golden and crispy.
- 4
Flip the fillets carefully and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily, then transfer to a warm plate.
- 5
Pour the remaining tablespoon of olive oil into the same skillet and reduce heat to medium, then add the diced onions and sauté until translucent and softened, approximately 5 minutes.
- 6
Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, then add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
- 7
Add the trimmed green beans and vegetable broth to the skillet, then bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 6-7 minutes until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
- 8
Whisk together the Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- 9
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the yogurt mixture, capers, chopped parsley, and fresh dill, combining gently to avoid breaking up the vegetables.
- 10
Season the sauce with additional sea salt and pepper to taste, stirring to incorporate evenly.
- 11
Return the fish fillets to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetable sauce and allowing them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
- 12
Finish each portion with a small pat of unsalted butter and a final sprinkle of fresh parsley before serving directly from the skillet or plated individually.
